What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 4x+5y= -35. Fully simplify your answer

Answer 1

Answer is –4/5

Rearrange the equation to make y the subject

5y = –4x – 35

y = –4/5 x – 7

If the line is parallel to the other line, they both have the same gradients but different y-intercepts, so the gradient is just as is.
