to solve this problem you must se up an equation as in this case it would be It gives you which makes your slope of 1,3 and -2,5 The slope of a parallel line is always the same which would make it as well. If it were a perpandicular line it would be the negitive inverse of that, making it

SLOPE OF A LINE IS (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) THUS WE HAVE
(5-3)/(-2-1)=2/-3 OR -2/3 IS THE SLOPE
-------------------------------------------------------------
(0-5)/(-1-1)=-5/-2 OR 5/2 OR 2.5 IS THIS SLOPE
