Answer 1

3

Explanation:

Given a line with points; (2, 5) (3, 8).

1. Find the slope of the given line

The formula for finding the slope is:

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

Substitute in the values;

`x_(1) = 2\\y_(1) = 5\\x_(2) = 3\\y_(2) = 8`

`(8-5)/(3-2)`

simplify;

`(3)/(1)`

= 3

2. Find the slope of the parallel line;

Remember, when two lines are parallel, they run alongside each other, of infinitely long, but they never touch. Hence two parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of a line that is parallel to the given one will also have the same slope as the given one, which is 3.
