Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to 6x+2y= -26?

Answer 1

`-3`

Explanation:

`6x + 2y = -26`

`2y = -6x - 26`

`y = -3x - 26`

`-3` is the slope. The line is parallel, so the slopes are the same.

This is because the two lines will rise at the same speed-they cannot catch up to each other.
