Question

Find the slope of a line that is parallel to the given points (2,3) and (4,-6)

Answer 1

We are to find the slope of a line that is parallel to the given points (2,3) and (4,-6).

`\text{Slope = }(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Where x 1 = 2, x 2 = 4, y 1 = 3 and y 2 = - 6.

`\text{Slope = }(-6-3)/(4-2)=(-9)/(2)\text{ = - 4.5}`
`\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ U\sin g\text{ the point (2,3)} \\ x_1=2_{} \\ y_1=\text{ 3} \\ m\text{ = slope = -}(9)/(2) \end{gathered}`
