Question 1060908: What is the slope of a line parellel to the line with equation 2x-5y=9?
Answer by algebrahouse.com(1659) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept
2x - 5y = 9
-5y = -2x + 9 {subtracted 2x from each side}
y = (2/5)x - (9/5) {divided each side by -5}
slope is 2/5
Parallel lines have equal slopes.
The slope of the parallel line would also be 2/5
