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

OpenStudy (zale101):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (zale101):

why C?

OpenStudy (zale101):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (zale101):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks so much
