Question

A line has an x-intercept of 3 and a y-intercept of 2. Determine the slope of a line parallel to this line.

Answer 1

-2/3 = m

Explanation:

Points on the given line are (3, 0) and (0, 2). Going from (0, 2) to (3, 0), the run is 3 and the rise is -2. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = rise / run = -2/3 = m
