Answer: [tex]\dfrac{-5}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that equation in intercept form is given by :-
[tex]y=mx+c[/tex] , where m is the slope of the line {Coefficient of x}
The given equation of a line : [tex]5x+2y=6[/tex]
First rewrite the given equation in intercept form , we get
[tex]2y=6-5x\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{1}{2}(6-5x)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{-5}{2}x+\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{-5}{2}x+3[/tex]
Comparing to the general intercept form , we have , the slope of the line = [tex]\dfrac{-5}{2}[/tex]
Since the slopes of two parallel lines is equal.
Therefore, the slope of a parallel line to [tex]5x+2y=6[/tex] : [tex]\dfrac{-5}{2}[/tex]
