7. Find the slope of a line parallel to 5x + 2y = 6.

A. 5/2
B. -5/2
C. -2/5
D. 2/5

Answer

-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2y + 5x = 6                  Subtract 5x from both sides

2y = - 5x + 6                Divide by 2

y = -5/2 x + 6/2

y = -5/2 x + 3

But the slope is all that you are interested in.

The answer is - 5/2 which is b. 5x has to be transferred to the right.
