Answer:
slope = - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence
Slope of a parallel line = - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
