Question

If AB is parallel to CD and the slope of CD is -5 what is the slope of AB

Answer 1

The slope of AB is also -5. This is because parallel lines have equal slopes. 

Answer 2

Slope of AB will be
`-5`.

Explanation:

Given: AB is parallel to CD and the slope of CD si
`-5`.

To find: The slope of AB.

Solution: It is given that AB is parallel to CD and the slope of CD si
`-5`.

We know that the slope of the two parallel lines is always same and will never intersect.

Thus, if AB is parallel to CD and the slope of CD is
`-5`, then the slope of AB will also be
`-5`.

Thus, slope of AB will be
`-5`.
