Slope:

$\sf{(2)/(5)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of y = 2/5x + 2 will be the same as the slope of the line which is parallel to it.

The equation is written in slope-intercept form, aka y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

In slope intercept, the slope is always the number that comes before x.

For this equation, the number in front of x is 2/5.

So, I come to the conclusion that the slope of the line parallel to y = 2/5x + 2 is 2/5.
