What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 5x +y = -9. Fully simplify your answer.

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b --> M is the slope

therefor..

y=-5x-9

so a slope // to the first line with have equall slopes

Both lines have a slope of -5

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x (x+6)^2, choice b

discussion:

factor x out of the equation:

x^3 + 12x^2 + 36x = x (x^2 + 12x + 36).

note that 6+6 = 12 and 6*6 = 36 so the above factors into:

x (x+6)^2

which is choice b
