    Answer:

    -5/4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Parallel lines have the same slope but a different y intercepts, because if you think about parellel lines, they’ll never intersect– if two lines have the same slope, that means they won’t be able to intersect. However, if they have the same slope, they would be coinciding (the same). That’s why the y intercepts are different.

    Since the slope of the first line is -5/4, the slope for the line parallel to it would also be -5/4

    hope this helps!

    Answer:

    -\frac{5}{4}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Parallel lines always have equal slopes. Therefore any parallel line to a given line will share the same slope.
