Question

Line e passes through points (7, 6) and (10, 2). Line f is parallel to line e. What is the slope of line f?

Answer 1

-1⅓

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope

slope = (2-6)/(10-7)

= -4/3

= -1⅓

Answer 2

Line f has the same slope, -4/3

Explanation:

First find the the slope of line e

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

= (2-6)/(10-7)

= -4/3

Since the lines are parallel, they have the same slope

Line f has the same slope, -4/3
