]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)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the slope for (3,7) and (-2,-8(?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)=(-8-7)/(-2-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so your slope is 3 since that line is parallel to the line you're looking for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which means everytime x goes up 1, y goes up 3 so if you add 2 to x, you add 6 to y therefore your y-intercept is (0,9) since your line is linear it's in the form y=mx+b, so your answer is y=3x+9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the slope is 3,9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks so much
