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)?

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

u need to find the slope or the eqn?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope i guess..lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the slope

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

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

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

\(\large m=\LARGE\frac{-2-6}{1-3}\) Can u find nw?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um what? would it be -8 over -2?

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

yup. u can simplify it further.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um -4?

OpenStudy (ajprincess):
