Answer:

-5/2

Explanation:

5x+2y=6

First, put the equation in slope-intercept form

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Subtract 5x from each side

5x-5x+2y=-5x+6

2y = -5x+6

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = -5/2x +6/2

y = -5/2 x +3

The slope is -5/2x

Lines that are parallel have the same slope
