Question

ASAP PLEASE What is the slope of the blue and green line ( both parallel)

Answer 1

slope = - 2

Explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 8, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, - 10) ← 2 points on the green line

m =
`(-10-4)/(-1+8)` =
`(-14)/(7)` = - 2

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 6) ← 2 points on the blue line

m =
`(-6-0)/(0+3)` =
`(-6)/(3)` = - 2

Since the slopes are equal then the lines are parallel
