Slope of the line through the points (-8, -7) and (6, 19)



















Answer: Slope is



if two points on line B are (,) and (,), then a slope is:
Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (16, 6) and (23, 19)












Answer: Slope is




since slopes are both same, =>=>, lines A and B are parallel

Two points on line A are (–8,–7) and (6,19). Two points on line B are (16,6) and (23,19).
Determine the slope of each of these lines, and then state whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Write your answers with two decimal places
------
slope of line A:: (19--7)(6--8) = 26/14 = 13/7
---
slope of line B:: (19-6)/(23-16) = 13/7
-----
Slopes are the same:: line are parallel
----------
