The slope is 5. Parallel lines always have the same slope.
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you have y=x+20 for example, the slope is 1 and any parallel line has slope 1 also. I think your equation is x=y+20 but since the+ and - don't show up i am not sure If it is we can rewrite it as -y=-x+20 or y=x-20 and slope is still 1 so any parallel line has slope 1.
Here is how to solve it. First, find the slope of the given line. To do this, solve the equation for "y". That will convert the equation to the slope-intercept form. From there, you can immediately read off the slope. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line you are looking for will have the same slope. Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation, with the given point, and the slope you just calculated. Finally, solve this equation for "y" to bring it into the requested slope-intercept form.
If you mean: y=-5x+10 and the point (3, 10) then the parallel equation is y=-5x+25
Known equation: 3x+5y = 6 or y = -3/5x +6/5 Slope of equation: -3/5 Slope of parallel equation: -3/5 Parallel equation: y-1 = -3/5(x-3) => 5y = -3x+14 Parallel equation in its general form: 3x+5y-14 = 0
