Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
The line y=px+2 has slope p
The line 2x+y=5 can be rewritten as y =-2x+5 so it has slope -2.
Since the two are parallel then they must have the same slope. Hence p=-2.
Answer:
p = - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
2x + y = 5 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
y = - 2x + 5 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 2
Parallel lines have equal slopes
Thus for y = px + 2 to be parallel to y = - 2x + 5
Then p = - 2
