Question

The line shown below are parallel. If the green line has a slope of -2, what is the slope of the red line?

Answer 1

Parallel lines have the same slope.

The slope of the red line is -2

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is C) -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided graph.

Two lines are said to be parallel if they never meet and remain the same distance apart.

The slope of two parallel lines are always same.

For two parallel lines: If the slope of one line is $m_1$ and the slope of another line is $m_2$ then.

$m_1=m_2$

Now consider the provided graph it is given that two lines are parallel.

The green line has a slope of -2. Therefore the slope of red line must be -2.

Thus, the correct option is C) -2.
