5x - y = -2

5x = y - 2 (-2 is the offset of the sloping line)

So for every unit up the y-axis, the sloping line's co-ordinate is 5 units to the right on the x-axis. the slope is 1 in 5 or converting to angular dimensions, tan O = 1/5 or O = ?.

This is not right. The slope is 5 if y is plotted upwards as normal. For every increase of 1 in x, y increases by 5.

What is a slope of a line whose equation is 2y plus 5x equals 4?

If: 2y+5x = 4 Then: y = -2.5x+2 whereas the slope is -2.5 and the y intercept is 2


What is the slope of a line that is parallel to y 5x 3?

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.
