Answer:

We conclude that the slope of line 'n' is: m₂ = 10

Explanation:

Given

The slope of line m is: m₁ = 10

  • It is stated that another line is parallel to line m.

Let m₂ be the slope of the 'n' line.

We know that when two lines are parallel, they have equal slopes.

i.e. m₁ = m₂

as

The slope of line m is: m₁ = 10

and

The lines are parallel

so

The slope of line 'n' is: m₂ = 10

Therefore, we conclude that the slope of line 'n' is: m₂ = 10
