Question 58283
Write the slope of a line parallel to the given line.

-5x + y = 12
:
Put the equation of the line in slope intercept form:{{{highlight(y=mx+b)}}}, m=slope, and b=yintercept.
:
-5x+y=12
5x-5x+y=5x+12
{{{y=highlight(5)x+12}}}  slope m=5
Parallel lines have equal slopes so any line parallel to this one has a slope of {{{highlight(m=5)}}}
Happy Calculating!!!
