Remember the equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b:


y=mx+b

Which can be expressed in terms of functions by replacing y=f(x)


f(x)=mx+b

Any line with the same slope will be parallel to that equation.

By comparing with:


f(x)=-5x+6

We can know that its slope is equal to -5.

Since the "parallel slope" is just the slope, then
