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

Try and draw it and see how it works. That's all i can help with.

Answer 3

how'd you get that ?

Answer 4

The slope of a line that passes through the point (-1,1) and is parallel to the line that passes through (4,6) and (-1,-4) 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).



1. Find the slope of the line that passes through (4, 6) and (−1, −4).
2. Since the line is parallel, that means the slope of the line passing through (−1, 1) is the same, so you have your slope. Done


The slope of a line that passes through points (4, 6) and (−1, −4) is the difference in y of -10 (from 6 to -4) divided by the change in x of -5 (from 4 to -1). That makes the slope 2. Any parallel line has that same slope.
