First lets find the slope of the line through (18,2) and (3,3)


Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (18, 2) and (3, 3)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%283+-+2%29%2F%283+-+18%29


m+=+%281%29%2F%28-15%29


m+=+-1%2F15



Answer: Slope is m+=+-1%2F15





Remember, any two parallel lines have equal slope. So the slope of any line parallel to the given line is m=-1%2F15
