to solve this problem you must se up an equation as $\"+%28x2-x1%29+%2F+%28y2-y1%29+\"$ in this case it would be $\"+%28-2-1%29%2F%285-3%29\"$ It gives you $\"+-3%2F2+\"$ which makes your slope of 1,3 and -2,5 $\"3%2F2\"$ The slope of a parallel line is always the same which would make it $\"3%2F2\"$ as well. If it were a perpandicular line it would be the negitive inverse of that, making it $\"-2%2F3\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
