What is the slope of any line parallel to the line 8x - 10y = 12?

The slope of any line parallel to the given line is 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

we have the line

8x-10y=42

Isolate the variable y

Adds 10y both sides

8x-10y+10y=42+10y

8x=42+10y

Subtract 42 both sides

8x-42=10y

Divide by 10 both sides

y=0.8x-4.2

The slope m is equal to

m=0.8

Remember that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

therefore

The slope of any line parallel to the given line is 0.8
