Question

Line l passes through the points, (6,-14) and (2,-4) . If line m is parallel to line l, the slope of the line m is equal to

Answer 1

Determine the slope of line l passes through points (6,-14) and (2,-4).

`\begin{gathered} m=(-4-(-14))/(2-6) \\ =(-4+14)/(-4) \\ =-(10)/(4) \\ =-(5)/(2) \end{gathered}`

The line m is parallel to line l and parallel line have equal slope. So slope of line m is equal to -5/2.

Option 3 is correct.
