Math Problem Statement
Graph a line that is parallel to the given line. Determine the slope of the given line and the one you graphed in simplest form.
Solution
The image shows a graph with two lines, and the task appears to involve determining the slopes of both the original line and a parallel line you have drawn.
To determine the slope of the given lines:
-
Identify the points on each line:
- The original line appears to pass through two specific points: and .
- The parallel line you drew appears to pass through points like and another point (though it's harder to tell the exact coordinates).
-
Calculate the slope using the slope formula:
For the original line passing through and , the slope would be:
Since the lines are parallel, the slope of the parallel line should also be 1.
Conclusion:
- The original slope is .
- The parallel slope is also .
