To find the slope of a line parallel to the path of the first airplane, we need to find the slope of the line that passes through the given points (2, 1) and (4, 5).
m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
m = (5 - 1) / (4 - 2)
m = 4 / 2
m = 2
Therefore, the slope of the line representing the path of another airplane that is traveling parallel to the first airplane is 2.
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?
