Question 348177
Hi,
*Note find the slope of the line with points (4,2) and (-2,0) by using the point-slope formula as parallel lines have the same slope
.

{{{m=(y[2] - y[1])/(x[2] - x[1])}}}
.

{{{m=(0 - 2)/(-2 - 4)}}}
.
{{{m=(1/3)}}}
That is: as y increases by 1, x increases by 3.
.
a line parellel to this: with points (7,y) and (1,0)

(7,2) and (1,0) would be a point on that line (as y increase by 2, x increases by 6)
.
y=2
