Answer:

-6

Explanation:

Given the line with the equation 6x +y = -3, you want the slope of a parallel line.

Slope

The slope of the line will be the coefficient of x when the equation is written in slope-intercept form:

y = mx +b

Solving for y, we get ...

y = -6x -3 . . . . . . subtract 6x

The slope is seen to be m = -6.

A parallel line will have the same slope: -6.
