Question

Line p and q are parallel lines. The slope of line q is-3. Determine the slope of line p. Type a numerical answer in the

space provided. If necessary, use the key to represent a fraction bar. Do not put spaces in your answer.

Answer 1

The slope of line p is also -3

Explanation:

Recall that parallel lines have the property of carrying the exact same slope (that is why they don't intersect). Therefore if the slope of line q is -3, the slope of line p must also be -3.

Answer 2

The slope of p is also - 3 .

Since p and q are parallel their slope are also the same.
