parallel

If the slope is 6 what would the slope of a line parallel to it be? Our rule for the relation of second lines to first lines with regards to slope is this: Parallel lines have the same slope Perpendicular lines have the negative reciprocal slope So the slope of the line parallel would also be 6

Line m passes through points (7, 5) and (9, 10). Line n passes through points (3, 1) and (7, 10). Are line m and line n parallel or perpendicular Slope of line m is: (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) (10 - 5)/(9 - 7) 5/2 Slope of line n is: (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) (10 - 1)/(7 - 3) 9/4 Run 3 checks on the...

Which of the following equations represents a line that is parallel to the line with equation y = -3x + 4? A) 6x + 2y = 15 B) 3x - y = 7 C) 2x - 3y = 6 D) x + 3y = 1 Parallel lines have the same slope, so we're looking for a line with a slope of 3, in the form y = mx + b. For this case, we...
