Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 2x + 12y = -192

Fully simplify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: 1/-6

Explanation:

i had this equation

Answer 2

Answer: -
`(1)/(6)`

Explanation:

To solve this question, I am going to first put the equation into slope-intercept form.

2x + 12y = -192

12y = -2x - 192

y = -
`(2)/(12)` - 16

y = -
`(1)/(6)` - 16

Now that the first equation has an easily identifiable slope, we can answer the question. Parallel lines will have the same slope, so that means the answer will be:

-
`(1)/(6)`
