Question

line b has a slope of $\frac{5}{9}$. line c is parallel to line b. what is the slope of line c? 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 given slope

The slope of line $b$ is $\frac{5}{9}$. Since line $c$ is parallel to line $b$, the slope of line $c$ is the same as that of line $b$.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{9}$
