Find the slope of the line that is parallel to 2x+y=7

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = 7 is the equation of the given straight line.

Let us arrange the above equation in slope-intercept form as

2x + y = 7

⇒ y = - 2x + 7 ... (1)

The slope-intercept form of a straight line is given as y = mx + c, where, m is the slope and c is the y-axis intercept of the straight line.

Therefore, - 2 is the slope of the given straight line (1).

Hence, the slope of the line that is parallel to (1), is - 2. (Answer)

{Slope of two parallel straight lines are of same value}
