What is the original slope and parallel slope?

Question

(3, -2), (6, -3)

Answer 1

To find the slope of the line passing through the points (3, -2) and (6, -3), we can use the formula:

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

Let's substitute the coordinates into the formula:

slope = (-3 - (-2)) / (6 - 3)
slope = (-3 + 2) / (6 - 3)
slope = -1 / 3

So, the original slope is -1/3.

To find the parallel slope, we need to note that parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, the parallel slope to a line with a slope of -1/3 will also be -1/3.
