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

If it's parallel to the second line, that means it has the same slope. So find the slope of the second line.

Answer 2

sooooooo how do i fid tht

Answer 3

change in y divided by change in x.

Answer 4

............\

Answer 5

So, let's say point 1 is (4,6) and point 2 is (-1, -4).

Answer 6

subtract the y value from point 2 from the y value of point 1.

In other words 6 - (-4)
