Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 15x +9y = –162.
Fully reduce your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

  -5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a parallel line is the same as the slope of this line. It can be found by solving for y:

  9y = -15x -162

  y = -15/9x -162/9

  y = -5/3x -18

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x: -5/3
