Question 55017
Find the slope of a line that is parallel to the following line:
y= 5x - 5
Hi DB,
This line is in slope intercept form: {{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, where m= slope and b=y-intercept.
{{{y=highlight(5)x-5}}} The slope of this line is 5.
Parallel lines have slopes that are equal, so the slope of the line that is parallel to y=5x-5 is {{{highlight(5)}}}.
Happy Calculating!!!
