The error to that problem is the person switched the x and y points, like in point A, it’s supposed to be (x,y) or (1,5). The person put the y in front of the x while writing the points.
Line through P(0, 5) and Q(-1, 8):
slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (8 - 5) / (-1 - 0) = 3 / -1 = -3
line through R(3, 3) and S(5, -1):
slope = m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (-1 - 3) / (5 - 3) = -4 / 2 = -2
Parallel lines have equal slopes. Since the two lines have different slopes, they are not parallel.
You need to get "x" by itself on one side

Add positive eight on both sides---because its the opposite of negaitve


Divide -2 by -2
-2÷-2=1
