Question

line j has a slope of $\frac{5}{3}$. line k is parallel to line j. what is the slope of line k? simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope property of parallel lines

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Step2: Identify the slope

Since line $k$ is parallel to line $j$ and slope of line $j$ is $\frac{5}{3}$, slope of line $k$ is also $\frac{5}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{3}$
