The formula of a slope:

We have the points (4, -4) and (k, -1) and the slope m = 34.
Substitute:

I believe it’s b I am not sure
Step by step explanation
Answer:
2 
Step-by-step explanation:
Change the mixed numbers to improper fractions
(
-
) +
← the LCM of 2 and 3 is 6
=
-
+ 
=
-
+ 
=
+ 
= 
= 
= 2 
1. y = -x - 2...slope here is -1. A parallel line will have the same slope
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
now we sub and find b, the y int
-2 = -1(2) + b
-2 = -2 + b
-2 + 2 = b
0 = b
so ur parallel equation is : y = -x
=========================
2. -1 = -3/2(2) + b
-1 = -3 + b
-1 + 3 = b
2 = b
parallel equation is : y = -3/2x + 2
==========================
3. parallel equation is : x = 4
==========================
4. 3 = 1/2(-2) + b
3 = -1 + b
3 + 1 = b
4 = b
parallel equation is : y = 1/2x + 4
===========================
5. y + 0 = 2(x - 5)
y = 2x - 10 <== parallel line
============================
6. neither
============================
7. if ur second equation is : 2x + y = 7, then the lines are parallel
============================
8. neither
============================
9. sometimes
============================
10. never
