What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 10x – 4y = 24. Fully reduce your answer.

The slope of the line is  ⁵/₂.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

equation of one of the parallel lines, 10x – 4y = 24.

let the slope of the parallel lines = m, since two parallel lines have equal slopes.

Then slope of the given equation which one of the parallel lines is calculated as;

10x – 4y = 24

4y = 10x - 24

divide through by "4'

the slope , m is the coefficient of x, = ⁵/₂ (when compared to y = mx + c)

Therefore, the slope of the line is  ⁵/₂.

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
