Answer

The slope of a line that is parallel to the graph of the equation is $\frac{3}{5}$.

Work Step by Step

We are given $3x=5y+10$ $\rightarrow 5y=3x-10$ $\rightarrow y=\frac{3}{5}x-2$ Nonvertical lines are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercepts. Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line where m represents the slope: $y=mx+b$ $y=\frac{3}{5}x-2$ Therefore, the slope of a line that is parallel to the graph of the equation is $\frac{3}{5}$.
