You can put this solution on YOUR website!
since the lines are parallel than they have the same slope
\n" ); document.write( "all you need to do is find the slope of the first line
\n" ); document.write( "now the slope equation if given two points on the line is \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28y1-y2%29%2F%28x1-x2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so you just substitute in the y's and the x's\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282-0%29%2F%283.8-4%29+=+-10\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and to be honest with you that result sounds weird to me so i would double check
\n" ); document.write( "hope this helped
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
