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)?

Question

anonymous · Answer

since it's paralel, it will have same slope as the 2º one

anonymous · Answer

so, calculate the slope of the line that passes through (3, 7) and (−2, −8)

anonymous · Answer

Im gonna tell u now i dont really understand slopes

anonymous · Answer

slope is the ratio of increment of y over increment of x, y2-y1/x2-x1

anonymous · Answer

so when you go from point (3, 7) to point (-2,-8), how much you advance in y? and how much in x?
