Line l passes through the points, (6,-14) and (2,-4) . If line m is parallel to line l, the slope of the line m is equal to

Sagot :

Determine the slope of line l passes through points (6,-14) and (2,-4).

[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{-4-(-14)}{2-6} \\ =\frac{-4+14}{-4} \\ =-\frac{10}{4} \\ =-\frac{5}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The line m is parallel to line l and parallel line have equal slope. So slope of line m is equal to -5/2.

Option 3 is correct.
