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

@Directrix

Answer 2

Hi HelloGoodmorning Recommended you :)

Answer 3

What is the slope of the line determined by these two points: (3, 7) and (−2, −8)

Answer 4

The y is the first number right? like -2 and 3

Answer 5

Sorry that was stupid to ask I see it in the formula now

Answer 6

I don't think of it that way.

Answer 7

(-8 - 7)/(-2 - 3) = ? for the slope of that line?

Answer 8

15/-5

Answer 9

I did not get that.

(-8 - 7)/(-2 - 3) = -15/(-5) = ?

Negative divided by negative is ?

Answer 10

Positive

Answer 11

So the slope is +3

Answer 12

3

Answer 13

So thats it?

Answer 14

Look at the posted question: What is the slope of a line that passes ...

Did you mean to write this --> What is the *equation* of a line that passes ....

Check the problem, please.

Answer 15

yeo

Answer 16

i already asked that @Directrix

Answer 17

the slope is right

Answer 18

Yeah It's aasking for the slope

Answer 19

I find the inclusion of this information odd or superfluous:
*** that passes through the point (−2, 3)***

Answer 20

Lol dude for some reason that made me laugh

Answer 21

Me, too.

@SOS101 Are the answer options equations or just numbers?

Answer 22

Lol sadly its a fill in the blank

Answer 23

@JOELMATHEWS1234 >>i already asked that

If you have already done this problem, why are we doing it again?

Answer 24

no , asked wether it is asking for slope or equation :P

Answer 25

@SOS101 Do this: Check the problem source and make sure you posted the problem correctly.

@JOELMATHEWS1234 @SOS101 needs to check is posted here against the problem source.

If this is the problem as posted, then the answer is 3. Otherwise ....

Answer 26

The problem sourse is asking for the slope

Answer 27

Thanks @Directrix

Answer 28

It is over, then. 3 is the slope.

Answer 29

You are welcome.
