Question

Find the slope of the line parallel to this equation: y=2/5x-4

Answer 1

slope =
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y =
`(2)/(5)` x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =
`(2)/(5)`

Parallel lines have equal slopes

Thus the slope of a parallel line is m =
`(2)/(5)`
