Question

Find the slope of the line that is parallel to the line that goes through the points (-7,4) and (5,-4)

Answer 1

First find the slope. Parallel meaning the same so you don't need to do anything to it. Then plug that into the point-slope formula \(\large y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})\)

Answer 2

use (y2-y1) over (x2-x1)

Answer 3

To find the slope, yes.

Answer 4

okay once i did that i plug it into point-slpoe formula
-4-4=-8/12(5-(-7))

Answer 5

-8/12? Yea, that'll be your slope, m. Now just plug that back into the point-slope formula.

Answer 6

i got -8 =-8

Answer 7

o.O
How? It's suppose to be an equation.

Answer 8

im not sure. could you show me

Answer 9

We will use (-7, 4).

Plug that in with the slope:

\(\large y-4=\frac{-2}{3}(x+7)\)
Now just put that into slope intercept form.

Answer 10

im not sure how to do that

Answer 11

Simplify it.

Answer 12
