x - y = -15
y = x + 15
This means the slope of a line parallel to the given line is 1.

Answer:

The slope is 1

Explanation:

To find the slope first write the equation in the form

y = mx + c

where m is the slope

c is the y intercept

3x - 3y = -45

3y = 3x + 45

Divide both sides by 3

y = 3/3x + 45/3

y = x + 15

From the equation the slope = 1

Parallel lines have equal slope

So

The line parallel to the above line is also

1

Hope this helps you
