Question

what is the slope of a line parallel to the line with equation:
5x-y=11

Answer 1

A line parallel will have the same slope, so just get it into y=mx+b form, identify the slope (m), and you have your answer. Let me know if you'd like to see it fully worked out.

Answer 2

can you please

Answer 3

Sure!
First, you want the y on the left side so subtract 5x from both sides to get:
-y=-5x+11
Then multiply everything by -1 so you get positive y on the left:
y=5x-11
Now it is in y=mx+b form, where m is the slope. So:
m=5
The slope of a line parallel to this one will have the same m value, so 5.
