Answer:
a) 5/4
b) y = 5/4x + 27
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the gradient of a line, simply change the equation into slope intercept form (y = mx + b), where b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.
4y - 5x = 2
4y = 5x + 2
y = 5/4x + 1/2
m(gradient) = 5/4
For lines to be parallel, simply keep the gradient the same. Any line with a gradient, or slope, of 5/4 will be parallel. As such, simply keep the first two terms identical, and change the y-intercept into any number.
Hope it helps :)
