What is the slope of a line parallel to a line whose equation is 3x+5y=12

the slope is -3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite in the form y=mx+b = y=(-3/5)x+12/5

the slope of a line is m (the coefficient of x in this equation)

m=(-3/5)

the slope of a line parallel to 3x+5y=12 would be any line with -3/5 as the coefficient to x when x is to the power of one.

You can use any number in place of b except 12 (because if 12 is used, the line would not be parallel and your equation would be equal to what you started with)

examples of parallel lines:

y=(-3/5)x

y=(-3/5)x+1

y=(-3/5)x-3
