Slope of the line through the points (20, 6) and (5, 7)



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


m+=+%287+-+6%29%2F%285+-+20%29


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


m+=+-1%2F15



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





Since all parallel slopes are equal, the slope of any parallel line is m=-1%2F15
