What is the original slope and parallel slope?

Question

(0, 7), (3, 6)

Answer 1

To find the slope between the two points (0, 7) and (3, 6) using the formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Substituting the coordinates into the formula:

slope = (6 - 7) / (3 - 0)
= -1 / 3

So, the original slope is -1/3.

For two lines to be parallel, they must have the same slope.

Therefore, the parallel slope is also -1/3.
