Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope- intercept form:

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Since the given equation is already in the slope-intercept form, we can identify its slope by looking at the coefficient of the x term. Here the coefficient is -5, thus the slope of the given line is also -5.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Thus, the slope of the line that is parallel to y= -5x +7 will have a slope of -5.

Hello there! (:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

We are given that one line has a slope of -5, therefore, the line parallel to the given line has a slope of -5 as well.

Hope it helps you. Let me know if you have any questions or need further explanation. (:
