Question

What is the slope of the line parallel to the line passing through the points (4,-2) and (-3,5)?

A) 3/7 B) 1 C) -3/7 D) -1

Answer 1

Answer:

D) -1

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is:

slope m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

in this question,

m = (5+2) / (-3-4) = 7 / (-7) = -1

since parallel lines have equal slope,

slope of the line parallel to this line will have slope same as this one

I hope this helps
