The equation of line e is y = 3/5 x + 8. Line f is parallel to line e. What is the slope of line f? Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Answer 1

The slope of line \( e \) given by the equation \( y = \frac{3}{5} x + 8 \) is \( \frac{3}{5} \).

Since line \( f \) is parallel to line \( e \), it will have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of line \( f \) is also

\[ \frac{3}{5}. \]

Thus, the slope of line \( f \) is \( \frac{3}{5} \).
