<PRE><B>Question 995304</B>
Two points on line A are (–8,–7) and (6,19). Two points on line B are (16,6) and (23,19).

Determine the slope of each of these lines, and then state whether the lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither. Write your answers with two decimal places
------
slope of line A:: (19--7)(6--8) = 26/14 = 13/7
---
slope of line B:: (19-6)/(23-16) = 13/7
-----
Slopes are the same:: line are parallel
