Answer:
4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope. So, we first need to put the equation in slope intercept form (y = kx + b)
8x – 10y = -60
-10y = -8x – 60
y = 4/5x + 6
So the slope is 4/5.
Answer:
In slope intercept form -5y = -4 – 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form is y=mx + b
Rewrite your equation in this form
-10y = -8x – 60
Find GCF (Greatest Common Factor) in this case it is 2
Divide all by 2
-5y = -4x – 30
