Question

Line m passes through the point (32,26) and (37,28). what is the slope of a line parallel to line m

a. - 5/2
b. -2/5
c.2/5
d.5/2

Answer 1

The answer is C. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

C.
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

Let
`(x_1,y_1)=(32,26)` and
`(x_2,y_2)=(37,28)`.

The slope of line m is given by

`Slope=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

We plug in the values to get;

`Slope=(28-26)/(37-32)`

`Slope=(2)/(5)`

The line parallel to m also have slope,
`(2)/(5)`
