Question

line r has a slope of $\frac{-8}{3}$. line s is parallel to line r. what is the slope of line s? simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall parallel - line slope property

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Step2: Identify the slope of line s

Since line s is parallel to line r and line r has a slope of $\frac{-8}{3}$, the slope of line s is also $\frac{-8}{3}$.

Answer:

$\frac{-8}{3}$
