Question

Find the slope of a line parallel line to each given line. Y=-10x+5

Answer 1

The answer should be - 10.

Y = - 10x + 5 is presented in the slope-intercept form. Also known as y = mx + c. M is the slope, and c is the place (y value) where the line cuts at the y-axis.

Remember that 2 parallel lines must have the same slope with each other.

Therefore, since m is the slope and the line is parallel to each other, the answer should be - 10, just answer with the number in the place m of the equation of straight line.

Answer 2

Hello!

Any line parallel to the line of y = -10x + 5 will have a slope of 10.

Any line parallel to another line will always have the same slope. The only thing that changes is the y intercept, also know as the ‘b’ or the initial value.
