Question

What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (−5, 3) and is parallel to a line that passes through (2, 13) and (−4, −11)?

Answer 1

first find slope of line that passes through (2, 13) and (−4, −11)

Answer 2

ok, slope is: y=4x+5

Answer 3

you don't need the equation, just the slope

Answer 4

Ok, so it's 4

Answer 5

perfect

Answer 6

that's the slope of the line through (2, 13) and (−4, −11)

Answer 7

any parallel line will have an equal slope, so the slope of the parallel line through (-5, 3) is also 4

Answer 8

Thank you Jim!
