You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Slope of (-3,-1) and (0,5) = (5-(-1)/(0-(-3)) = 6/3 = 2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A line that is parallel has the same slope.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1,-3) and (2,-1) = (-1+3/2-1) = 2/1 = 2 <--- looks to be our answer, but check others.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1,-3) and (3,3) = (3+3)/(3-1) = 6/2 = 3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1,-3) and (3,-2) = (-2+3)/(3-1) = 1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1,-3) and (3,-3) = (-3+3)/(3-1) = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
