First find the slope through (19, 7) and (4, 8)


Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (19, 7) and (4, 8)



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


m+=+%288+-+7%29%2F%284+-+19%29


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


m+=+-1%2F15



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




So any line parallel to this line will have the same slope. So the slope of any parallel line to this one has a slope of -1%2F15
