We are asked to find the slope of the line that is parallel to the line [tex]\star~\mathrm{y=-\cfrac{2}{5}x+\cfrac{4}{5}}[/tex].

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

  • Parallel lines have the same slope.

So let's first determine the slope of the first line, and then let's find the slope of the line that's parallel to it.

[tex]\circ\!\!\!\star\mathcal{HINT:}[/tex]

  • The slope is the coefficient of x.

So the slope is

[tex]\star~\mathrm{-\cfrac{2}{5}}[/tex].

Can you guess the slope of the line that is parallel to the first line?

That's right! The slope is...

[tex]\star~\mathrm{-\cfrac{2}{5}}[/tex]

Hope it helps you out! :D
