You can
put this solution on YOUR website!Anything parallel to this line will have the same slope. So all we need to do is find the slope of the line that goes through these points.
Note:
)
is the first point
)
. So this means that
and
.
Also,
)
is the second point
)
. So this means that
and
.
Start with the slope formula.
Plug in
,
,
, and
Subtract
from
to get
Subtract
from
to get
Reduce
So the slope of the line that goes through the points
and
is
So therefore, any parallel line will also have a slope of -2.
