Question

the lines shown below are parallel. if the green line has a slope of $-\frac{1}{2}$, what is the slope of the red line? image of a coordinate plane with two lines options: a. $-\frac{1}{2}$, b. $-2$, c. $2$, d. $\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall parallel lines slope property

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Step2: Determine red line slope

Given the green line has slope $-\frac{1}{2}$, the red line (parallel to green) has the same slope, so slope is $-\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

A. $-\frac{1}{2}$
