Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (−2, 3) and is parallel to a line that passes through (3, 7) and (−2, −8)

Answer 1

This is simple. Use your slope formula \[y1-y2/ x1-x2\]

Answer 2

The slopes are parrallel, meaning the slopes are the same.

Answer 3

can u help me put it together please

Answer 4

(7--8)/ (3--2) = (7+8)/(3+2) = 15/5 = 3. Which is your slope. The other coordinate can be used to find your equation of your line.

Answer 5

so what now

Answer 6

3 is the slope

Answer 7

The question asked for slope correct? 3 is your slope since the lines are parrelell meaning they have the same slope. Yes

Answer 8

i gotcha :)
