Question 584911: Hi id like some help with this question here:
A triangle has vertices A(11,1) B(3,6) and C(3,-4)
Find an equation of the line that is parallel to AB and contains point C.
I think it was (-2,-2)(3,-4)

Parallel lines have identical slopes. Use the slope formula:



where and are the coordinates of the given points A and B.

Then use the point-slope form of an equation of a line:



where are the coordinates of point C and is the slope calculated above.
