It has the same slope as the line in the question. If a line has equation y = mx + c, its slope is m. If the line in question is y = 5x + 3, the slope of a parallel line is 5; If the line in question is y + 5x = 3 → y = -5x + 3 (subtract 5x from both sides), the slope of a parallel line is -5.
Get in slope intercept form. 3X + 5Y = 15 5Y = -3X + 15 Y = -3/5X + 3 -3/5 is the slope of this line and the line parallel to this line
Slope = 5/3 = 1.66...
First rewrite the equation in the "standard" form: 3y = 5x + 8 so that y = 5/3*x + 8/3 Then the slope is the coefficient of x, ie 5/3 or 1.66...
