What's the slope
of a line parallel
to the line
3x - 5y = 7

Answer:

3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope would be 3/5.

We can get the equation down to y=mx+b form first.

3x - 5y = 7

(Subtract 3x from both sides.)

-5y=-3x+7.

(Divide -5 on both sides.)
y=3/5-7/5.

Now, it is not parallel yet since to be parallel it needs a different y intercept, so just make one up.

Like:

y=3/5-7/3.

To see this visibly to make sure we can use desmos. com.

It is a graphing calculator where you can type the equation to see how it is graphed.

Answer:

m=3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First rewrite the equation in slope intercept form. y=mx+b

[tex]y=\frac{-3}{-5} x-\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

The -3/-5 becomes positive.

[tex]y=\frac{3}{5} x-\frac{7}{5}[/tex]

In order to be parallel, use a different y value for "b."

Therefore, the slope is 3/5. Hope this helps and have a great day.
