Question

Give the slope of a parallel line from the given equation. y=4/5x-3

Answer 1

Give the slope of a parallel line from the given equation. The slope is 4/5

Answer 2

Parallel lines are equal and have the same slope. The slope law for parallel lines can be expressed as follows

`\begin{gathered} m_1=m_2 \\ \text{where} \\ m_1=\text{slope 1} \\ m_2=\text{slope 2} \end{gathered}`

The slope point equation can be express as below

`\begin{gathered} y=mx+c \\ \text{where} \\ m=\text{slope or gradient} \\ c=\text{intercept} \\ \text{Therefore} \\ y=(4)/(5)x-3 \\ \text{the slope will be }(4)/(5) \end{gathered}`

The slope is 4/5
