Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line with equation 2x – 5y = 9?

Answer 1

what the right choice

Answer 2

did that help

Answer 3

When lines are parallel they have the same slope. So all you need to do is put this equation in slope-intercept form

y=mx+b

where m is the slope of the line. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the value of m will be the slope they're asking for.

Answer 4

2x-5y=9

Solve for y.

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-5y=-2x+9

Divide both sides by -5:

y=(2/5)x-(9/5)
