Question

What is the slope of a line of duty hat is parallel to the line whose equation is 5y+2x=12

Answer 1

-2/5

Explanation:

The slope of two parallel lines will be the same.

Here, our equation is 5y + 2x = 12. Let's find the slope by isolating y:

5y + 2x = 12

5y = -2x + 12

y = (-2/5)x + 12/5

So, the slope is -2/5.

Thus, the slope of the line parallel to the given one will be -2/5.

Answer 2

-2/5

Explanation:

5y+2x=12

Solve for y

Subtract 2x

5y = -2x+12

Divide by 5

5y/5 = -2/5 x +12/5

y = -2/5x +12/5

The slope is -2/5

Parallel lines have the same slope
