Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is

6x – 10y = -100. Fully simplify your answer.

Answer 1

3/5

Explanation:

6x - 10y = -100

Write this equation in slope-intercept form: y = mx +b

-10y = -6x - 100

Divide the entire equation by (-10)

`(-10)/(-10)y=(-6)/(-10)x-(100)/(-10)\\\\y =(3)/(5)x+10`

Slope = 3/5

Parallel lines have same slope.

Slope of the parallle line = 3/5
