Math Problem Statement
Lineqhasaslopeof 2 5 . Line risparalleltoline q . What istheslopeofline r ?
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer.
Solution
Given that line is parallel to line , they must have the same slope.
The slope of line is . Since parallel lines have identical slopes, the slope of line is also .
Thus, the slope of line is:
