Question

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)?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 6) and (1, -2)

=
`(y2-y2)/(x2-x1)`

=
`(-2-6)/(1-3)`

=
`(-8)/(-2)`

= 4

the two lines are parallel.

therefore, the slope of the line that passes through the point (-1, 1) is 4.
