Answer:
slope = - 5
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 )
y = - 5 - 2x ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 2
Parallel lines have equal slopes
Hence the slope of a line parallel to the given equation is - 2
