Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (−1, 1) and is parallel to a line that passes through (3, 6) and (1, −2)?

Answer 1

u need to find the slope or the eqn?

Answer 2

the slope i guess..lol

Answer 3

yes the slope

Answer 4

For parallel lines the slopes are equal.
\(\large slope~m=\LARGE\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 5

\(\large m=\LARGE\frac{-2-6}{1-3}\)
