    0.5x - 5y = 9

    Make y the subject:

    5y = 0.5x - 9

    y = 0.1x - 1.8

    Match equation with y = mx + b

    m = slope = 0.1

    Parallel Slope = 0.1

    Answer: The slope of the parallel line is 0.1

    The slopes of parallel line are the same.

    We have: 0.5x - 5y = 9

    Let's transform to slope-intercept form y = mx + b

    0.5x - 5y = 9 |-0.5x

    -5y = - 0.5x + 9 |: (-5)

    y = 0.1x - 1.8

    Your answer is m = 0.1
