Question

Lines pp and qq are parallel. The slope of line pp is −3-3. What is the slope of line qq?​

Answer 1

-2 x 1 y = -1
Find the slope of this line
make y the subject
1 y = 2 x -1
Divide by 1
y = 2 x -1
Compare this equation with y=mx+b
slope m = 2
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
The slope of the required line will be 2
m= 2 ,point ( 2 , -2 )
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
y=mx+b
-2 = 4 + b
b= -6
m= 2
Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
The required equation is y = 2 x -6
