Question

A given line has a slope of 3/8. what is the slope of a line that is parallel to it.

Answer 1

parallel lines have the same slope of the given slope while perpendicular slopes are opposite (reciprocal) to the given slope

Answer 2

so if the anwser choices were :
A. -3/8
B. 3/8
C. 8/3
D. -8/3

then the anwser would be C?

Answer 3

why C?

Answer 4

you're looking for the parallel slope, 8/3 is not the same as 3/8
similar slopes are parallel

Answer 5

ohhh okay i get what your saying. its basically the same. so B?

Answer 6

yeah

Answer 7

okay thanks so much
