Answer:
4/5
Explanation:
Definition: Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.
Given the line:
[tex]12x-15y=315[/tex]Determine the slope of the given line by expressing it in the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), where m is the slope:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 12x-15y=315 \\ \text{ Add 15y to both sides of the equation} \\ 12x-15y+15y=315+15y \\ 12x=315+15y \\ \text{ Subtract 315 from both sides:} \\ 12x-315=315-315+15y \\ 12x-315=15y \\ \text{ Divide all through by 15} \\ \frac{15y}{15}=\frac{12}{15}x-\frac{315}{15} \\ y=\frac{4}{5}x-21 \end{gathered}[/tex]• The slope of the line, m = 4/5.
Since the lines are parallel, they have the same slope.
Hence, the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 12x – 15y = 315 is 4/5.
