What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (−1, 1) and is parallel to a line that passes through (3, 6) and (1, −2)?
1 Answer
Your slope is
Explanation:
Slopes of parallel lines are the same as they have the same rise and run on a graph. The slope can found using
Therefore, if we put in the numbers of the line parallel to the original we get
This then simplifies to
