Find the Slope of a Parallel Line y=5x-1

$y = 5 x - 1$

Step 1

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $5$ .

$m = 5$

Step 2

All lines that are parallel to $y = 5 x - 1$ have the same slope of $5$ .

$m_{parallel} = 5$
