Question

ajprincess · Answer

First find the slope of the line that passes through (3, 7) and (−2, −8)
using
$\large m=\LARGE\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

can u help me put it together

anonymous · Answer

Parallel lines have the same slope, so just find the slope of the given points to get your answer.
$$m = \frac{ y2 - y1 }{ x2 - x1} \to \frac{ -8 - 7 }{ -2 - 3}$$
