Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard way of writing the equation of a line is expressed as y = mx + b

m is the slope of the line

Given the expression

3x - 18y = -378

First reqrite in standard form as shown;

-18y = -3x - 378

Divide through by -18

-18y/-18 = -3x/-18 - 378/-18

y = 3/18 x + 21

Comparing with the standard equation;

mx = 3/18 x

m = 3/18

m = (3*1)/(3*6)

m = 3/3 * 1/6

m = 1 * 1/6

m = 1/6

Hence the slope of the line parallel to the given line will be the same and equal to 1/6
