Question

Ohey again. xD
What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (−1, 1) and is parallel to a line that passes through (3, 6) and (1, −2)?

Answer 1

-1

Answer 2

use the parallel line points to find the slope....(parallel lines have the same slope)

(6 -(-2))/(3 - 1) = 8/2

the slope is 4

Answer 3

Would you explain how you got that? x3

Answer 4

the slope of a line is rise/run in the picture the rise is 8 and run is 2

so the gradient is 4

I didn't use the initial point (-1, 1) as the question said parallel to the line through the points

I used y2 = 6 y1 = -2 and x2 = 3 x1 = 1
