Match each pair of points to the equation of the line that is parallel to the line passing through the points.
1 answer:
If we identify the lines by ...
1. y = -0.5x -3
2. y = -3.5x -15
3. y = 5x +19
4. y = 1.25x +4
Then the matches are ...
BC - 2
DE - 1
FG - none
HI - 4
JK - none
LM - 3

Whenever there is a lot of repetitive math to do, I usually find it easier to let a calculator or spreadsheet do it. Here, the graphing calculator is computing the slope between the points. The slopes of parallel lines are the same.
