Find the slope of any line parallel to the line through points (19, 11) and (9, 9).
The slope through these two points can be found with the slope formula: highlight%28m=%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29%29, m=slope
(x1,y1)=(19,11) and (x2,y2)=(9,9)
m=%289-11%29%2F%289-19%29
m=-2%2F-10
m=1%2F5
Parallel lines have the same slopes, so any line parallel to the line made by these two points also has a slope of highlight%28m=1%2F5%29
Happy Calculating!!!
