Slope of a line parallel to given line is equal to slope of given line.
SOLUTION:
Given that, we have to find the slope of any line that is parallel to a line in the co – ordinate plane.
We know that, slope of a line is tan( angle of a line made between that line and the x – axis)
So, consider two lines which are parallel , then, angles made by both the parallel lines will be equal with the x – axis.
Then, tan( angle by 1st line) = tan( angle by 2nd line)
Which means that, slope of two lines will be equal.
Hence, slope of a line parallel to given is equal to slope of given line.
