Answer:
slope = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Given
9x - 3y = - 54 ( subtract 9x from both sides )
- 3y = - 9x - 54 ( divide all terms by 0 3 )
y = 3x + 18 ← in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus
slope of parallel line is 3
