: I am not sure how to typ this in you slover on equation. What is L1 and L2 I know how to graph points of origin but i do not understand what thes are.
Draw L1 through (-4,0) and (0,6) what is the slope of any line parellel to L1? Draw L2 through the point of origin and parallel to L1? This question is from textbook Universit of phoenix special edition elemtary and intermediate algebra

This is difficult to show you online, if you have questions about something I was unclear about let me know.
You said you knew how to plot points. If you were to connect the dots you'd get a line that looks like this:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%283%2F2%29x%2B6%29
A parallel line going through the origin, would have the same slope or slant. Graphically you could find the slope by counting the units up or down/units left or right.
Algebraically, we have a formula for slope (m):
m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29
m=%286-0%29%2F%280-%28-4%29%29
m=6%2F4
m=3%2F4
Our second line would start at (0,0) and go up 3 units and right 4 units to (4,3), where you'd plot another point connect the dots and you have:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%283%2F2%29x%29
Together the two lines look like this:
graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%283%2F2%29x%2B6%2C%283%2F2%29x%29
