Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to KS on the graph ? A. -3/2B. -2/3 C. 2/3

Answer 1

The slope of a line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

then, the slope that passes through K(2,2) and S(5,4) is:

`m=(4-2)/(5-2)=(2)/(3)`

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope, then the slope of a line parallel to KS is 2/3
