You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When given two points; (X1,Y1) & (X2,Y2), the slope of the line is found by the following equation.
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%28Y2-Y1%29%2F%28X2-X1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the values that you were given.
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+%28-9+-+5%29%2F%28-1+-+-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+-14%2F1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"m+=+-14\"
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of line D is -14.
\n" ); document.write( "Two line are parallel when they have the same slope. So the answer is -14
