What is the slope of the line parallel to y=2/5x-1?
I really need help with this fast please

The slope will be 2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

is written in slope-intercept form.

This formula looks like:

where:

So:

1 ). For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope.

2 ). For two line to be perpendicular they must have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

As the question states, we must find the slope of a line parallel to the equation given. This means that the slope will remain 2/5.

Lets check our work!

Choose a random ordered pair. I will choose (5, 6).

Now, using point slope-form we can find out if what was said above is true!

This formula looks like:

Let us substitute:

Distribute:

Add 6 to both sides:

Now using both equations I will plot them on a graph to see if they a parallel.

As you can see from the graph below, these lines are parallel. Where the equation you were given is in blue and the equation I made is in red.

Based on all of the evidence, the slope will be 2/5.

Hope this helped! :)
