Answer:
slope = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 6)
m = =
=
= 2
No, the two lines do NOT intersect because they are parallel lines (see the attached image). Both lines have a slope of 2, or 2/1. Recall that slope = rise/run. So this means that we go up 2 and over to the right 1. Lines with the same slope but different y intercepts means that they are parallel. Parallel lines never cross.
In short, the final answer is choice D.
