Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to the line through the given points. P(-2, 4), Q(6, -2) 4/3 3/4 -3/4

Answer 1

Answer:

slope = - $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes thus the slope of a parallel line will be equal to the slope of PQ

To calculate slope m use the slope formula

m = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P(- 2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q(6, - 2)

m = $\frac{-2-4}{6+2}$ = $\frac{-6}{8}$ = - $\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 2

Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the slope of the 2 points. You use the formula m=Y2-Y1/X2-X1. You should get -3/4.
