Question

Line m passes through points (3, 4) and (10, 8). Line n is parallel to line m. What is the slope of line n?

Answer 1

4/7

Explanation:

(8-4)/(10-3) = 4/7

parallel = same slope

Answer 2

The slope of line n is 4/7

Explanation:

First find the slope of line m

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (8 - 4)/(10 -3)

m = 4/7

Parallel lines have the same slope

The slope of line n is the same as slope of line m

The slope of line n is 4/7
