Question

please help! What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (-2, 3) and is parallel to a line that passes through (3, 7) and (-2, -8)?

Answer 1

=-8-7/-2-3
=-15/-3
=5

Answer 2

\[{ (-8-7) \over (-2-3) }= 5\] This will be slope of the every parallel line, that is parallel to this line.

Answer 3

the equation of the line form is:
y-3=5(x+2)
y-3=5x+10
5x-y+13=0

Answer 4

I like you name haha_proof :D

Answer 5

thanks..im not really good in math as you think..

Answer 6

Thanks for all of your help :) and thank you :D

Answer 7

Glad to help :)

Answer 8

can you please help with one more im doing this exam and im so lost on these type of problems and i have to get a good grade.?

Answer 9

you're welcome ...its our pleasure to solve math problems,hehe

Answer 10

What is the slope of the line passing through the point (3, -4) and perpendicular to the line y = 3x + 5? Write your answer as a fraction.

Answer 11

what you are going to do is that familiarize the different form of the line equation.

Answer 12

y=3x+5 is in the form of slope intercept form where y=mx +b. so the slope is m=3. to get perpendicular slope of the given line you need to get the multiplicative inverse that will result to -1
so the slope is m=-1/3

Answer 13

Thank you for all of your help :) im still a little confused but ill try my next problem on own!

Answer 14

*my own

Answer 15

ok,just remember that parallel lines do have the same slope and perpendicular lines get -1 if slopes are to be multiplied.

Answer 16

ok thanks again!
