Question

Find the slope of every line that is parallel to
the line on the graph.
(-2,6) (0,-2)

Answer 1

-4

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope throughout. Find the slope of the line connecting the given points and you will then have the answer to this question.

Moving from (-2,6) to (0,-2)

we see that x (the "run") increases by 2 and y (the "rise") decreases by 8.

Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = m = -8/2 or m = -4
