First find the slope of the line through the points (15,1) and (4,2)

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (15, 1) and (4, 2)



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


m+=+%282+-+1%29%2F%284+-+15%29


m+=+%281%29%2F%28-11%29


m+=+-1%2F11



Answer: Slope is m+=+-1%2F11





Since parallel lines have equal slopes, the slope of any line parallel to the line through points (15,1) and (4,2) is m=-1%2F11
