To find the slope of a line, we can use the formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's label the coordinates of the first airplane as (x1, y1) = (2, 1) and (x2, y2) = (4, 5).
slope = (5 - 1) / (4 - 2)
slope = 4 / 2
slope = 2
Therefore, the slope of a line that represents the path of another airplane that is traveling parallel to the first airplane is 2.
A)
Segment XY represents the path of an airplane that passes through the coordinates (2, 1)
and (4, 5). What is the slope of a line that represents the path of another airplane that is
traveling parallel to the first airplane?
