Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (−1, 1) and is parallel to a line that passes through (4, 6) and (−1, −4)?

Answer 1

Find slope first:
y - y / x - x
6 - (-4) = 10
4 - (-1) = -5
slope: 10/5 = 2/1 = 2
so the slope of a parrallel line would be the same: 2

Answer 2

woops it was supposed to be 5 not -5 though the answer doesn't change; the slope is still 2/1

Answer 3

thank you
