Question

determine the slope of a line parallel to the segment shown. (1,1) (3,5) -3/1 -1/2 2/1 1/3

Explanation:

(not part of output): The slope of a line passing through two points \((x_1,y_1)=(1,1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)=(3,5)\) is \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}=\frac{5 - 1}{3 - 1}=\frac{4}{2}=2\). Parallel lines have the same slope.
