Exercise 53 Page 369

What do parallel lines have in common?

3/5

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given equation of a line. 3x=5y+10 To help us identify the slope of this line, let's first convert it into slope-intercept form, y= mx+ b, where m is the slope and (0, b) is the y-intercept.

3x=5y+10
3x-10=5y
3/5x-2=y
y=3/5x-2

When lines are parallel, they have the same slope. Because of this, we know that all lines that are parallel to the line whose equation is given will have a slope of 35.
