Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 5x +y = -9. Fully

simplify your answer.

Answer 1

5x+y=-9

y=-9-5x

y=-5x-9

y=-5x-9

Answer 2

-5

Explanation:

y=mx+b --> M is the slope

therefor..

y=-5x-9

so a slope // to the first line with have equall slopes

Both lines have a slope of -5
