Answer 2

Oh, now you ask for my help >_>
But put it into slope-intercept form, and look for m
\[\LARGE y=mx+b\]

Answer 3

But the sentence doesn't even have a y

Answer 4

\[\LARGE 5x+3\color{red}{y}=7\]?

Answer 5

..... o

Answer 6

What about m and b?

Answer 7

Those are just variables representing constants..

Answer 8

5x + 3y = 7

Parallel lines have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.

Solve for y:

3y = -5x + 7

Divide by 3:

y = -5/3x + 7/3

The slope of the parallel line will be -5/3.

Answer 9

^^Pretty much that, even if they did break the CoC >.>

Answer 10

I explained how to do it. It wasn't just a straight answer.
