Question

find the Slope of a line parallel to the line which passes through each pair of the following points
i) (0,0) and (5,6)
ii) (-1,3) and (4,7)
iii) (-5,-8) and (3,0)
iv) (-a,0) and (0,b)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula of slope of the line is m = ($y_{2}$ - $y_{1}$) / ($x_{2}$ - $x_{1}$)

Parallel lines have the same slope with line which they are parallel to.

~~~~~~~  

(i). m = (6 - 0) / (5 - 0) = 6 / 5

(ii). m = (7 - 3) / (4 + 1) = 4 / 5

(iii). m = (0 + 8) / (3 + 5) = 1

(iv). m = (b - 0) / (0 + a) = b / a
