Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The line has a "rise" between the two points of -4 units for a "run" of +1 unit. The slope is the ratio ...
m = rise/run = -4/1 = -4.
The slope is -4.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A "whole number" must be non-negative. Here, the slope is negative. If you're restricted to "a fraction or a whole number", then the appropriate answer is the fraction -4/1. We suspect that "integer" is meant where "whole number" is used.

Answer:
3p-p
Step-by-step explanation:
I always think of the negative sign out ruling the positive sign so let's do that for the -p part.
3p-p is what it becomes
Your question says simplify but just in case you want the answer here it is:
-p is also the same as -1p
So therefore we have
3p-1p
And we subtract the coefficients and keep the variable
2p would be your answer but once again I don't know if you wanted that so just to be sure I put 3p-p as my "answer".
No, the graphs of the lines are not parallel because if you simplify 27x-3y=-81, you get y=9x+27, and in order to have the lines parallel, both equations must have the same "m" in y=mx+b. 6 and 9 do not equal, so no they are not parallel.
