Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line containing (-6,1) and (3,-2)

Answer 1

`m = -(3)/(9)`

Explanation:

Use the following formula:

slope:
`m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

Let:

`(x_(1) , y_(1)) = (-6 , 1)\\ (x_(2) , y_ {2}) = (3 , -2)\\`

Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables:

`m = (-2 - 1)/(3 - (-6))\\\\m = (-3)/(3 + 6)\\\\m = (-3)/(9)`

`m = -(3)/(9)` is your answer.
