Question

PLZ HELP! What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (-5, 3) and is parallel to a line that passes through (2, 13) and (-4, -11)?

Answer 1

What is the slope of the line that passes through (2, 13) and (-4, -11) ?

Answer 2

idk honestly i usually have it in slope intercept form

Answer 3

Use the formula: Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Answer 4

okay so it would be -24/ -6?

Answer 5

which reduces to what

Answer 6

it reduces to -4/1?

Answer 7

close

Answer 8

the negatives cancel when they divide

Answer 9

and 4/1 = 4

Answer 10

oh so 4/1

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

or just 4

Answer 13

That's the slope through (2, 13) and (-4, -11)

Answer 14

The slope of ANY line parallel to this one will be equal to this slope value since parallel lines have equal slopes.

Answer 15

oh okay thanks :) again lol
