Is the line that passes through the points A(0,1) and B(2,5) parallel to the line that passes through the points C(0,7) and D(4,15)?
Find the slope at AB


Sagot :

Answer:

Slope of AB = 2

Slope of CD = 2

equal slopes means the lines are parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{(y_{2} -y_{1} )}{(x_{2} -x_{1} )}[/tex]

line AB = [tex]\frac{(5-1)}{(2-0)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex] = 2

line CD - [tex]\frac{(15-7)}{(4-0)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{4}[/tex] = 2
