Question

What would the slope of a line be if it were parallel to the line: y = 6 / 7x - 5 ?

Answer 1

The equation of the line is:

$y=\frac{6}{7}x-5$

Compare with the slope intercept form given by:

$y=mx+c$

To get the slope m and y- intercept c as:

$m=\frac{6}{7},c=-5$

The slopes of parallel lines are equal so the slope of the line parallel to the given line will also be equal to m which is 6/7.

The slope of the parallel line will be 6/7.
