Write the slope of a line parallel to the given line.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-5x + y = 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Put the equation of the line in slope intercept form: $\"highlight%28y=mx%2Bb%29\"$ , m=slope, and b=yintercept.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-5x+y=12
\n" ); document.write( "5x-5x+y=5x+12
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=highlight%285%29x%2B12\"$ slope m=5
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have equal slopes so any line parallel to this one has a slope of $\"highlight%28m=5%29\"$
