Question

Find the slope of a line parallel to the line which passes through each pair of the following points (-5,-8) and (3, 0)?

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} Weknowthatslopeofalinejoiningpoints\left(x_1,y_1\right)and\left(x_2,y_2\right)is \\ slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ Slopeofalinejoiningpoints\left(-5,-8\right)and\left(3,0\right)is \\ slope=\frac{0+8}{3+5}=\frac{8}{8}=1 \\ Now,slopeofalineparalleltoaboveline=1 \end{gathered}$$
