Find the slope of any line parallel to the line through points (14, 2) and (5, 5).
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have the same slopes, so use the slope formula to find the slope between these two points.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(x1,y1)=(14,2) and (x2,y2)=(5,5)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%285-2%29%2F%285-14%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=%283%2F-9%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=-1%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since parallel lines have the same slope all parallel lines would have the slope:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28m=-1%2F3%29\"$
