You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Put in y = mx + c form
\n" ); document.write( " x - 8y = 5
\n" ); document.write( " -8y = - x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply through by -1
\n" ); document.write( " 8y = x - 5
\n" ); document.write( "Divide through by 8
\n" ); document.write( " y = 1/8x - 5/8
\n" ); document.write( "As lines that are parallel have
\n" ); document.write( "the same gradient.
\n" ); document.write( "m1 = m2
\n" ); document.write( "So, slope of line that is
\n" ); document.write( "parallel to x - 8y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "= 1/8
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
