Question

first correct answer will get a medal!!
what is the slope of the line parallel to the line whose equation is 5x+3y=15

Answer 1

do you know what the slope of 5x + 3y = 15 is ?

Answer 2

put the equation in y = mx + b form, and the number in the m position is the slope.
A parallel line will have the same slope

Answer 3

i forget to put this up
a.)-5/3
b.)-3/5
c.)5/3
d.)3/5

Answer 4

can you put this equation into y = mx + b form ?

Answer 5

ok....I am in a generous mood
5x + 3y = 15 ---- subtract 5x from both sides
3y = -5x + 15 --- divide by 3
y = -5/3x + 15/3
y = -5/3x + 5

the number in the m position (the slope) is -5/3
A parallel line will have the same slope.

Answer 6

slopes of two parallel lines are equal..
so you can find a slope of a given line by using the formula..
-b/a
a=coeff... of x
and b = coef. of y
so its slope is - 5/3

Answer 7

wow...thats easier nirmalnema.

Answer 8

yup.. :)

Answer 9

smarty pants....lol

Answer 10

yeah I was setting it up but im kinda really new to thing and thank you for your help
