Question

If you are finding the line parallel to the graph of x + 3y = 5, what is the slope of the line?

Answer 1

when y= mx+ c is a line, m is the slope. here m is -1/3. which is the slope. for starters, reorder terms so that it matches the order y= mx+ c

Answer 2

-3! is the asnwer!!

Answer 3

oh sorry..-1/3!!

Answer 4

parallel lines have the same slope: thus it will have m=-1/3

Answer 5

x + 3y = 5
x + 3y -x = 5 - x
3y = -x + 5
3y/3 = (-x+5)/3
y = -1/3x + 5/3

so m = -1/3




here's the explanation in case u need it!!
