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 rr is parallel to line qq, they must have the same slope.

The slope of line qq is 25\frac{2}{5}. Since parallel lines have identical slopes, the slope of line rr is also 25\frac{2}{5}.

Thus, the slope of line rr is: 25\frac{2}{5}

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this concept:

  1. What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line qq?
  2. How do you calculate the slope of a line given two points on the line?
  3. How do parallel and perpendicular lines behave differently in geometry?
  4. Can two lines with different slopes ever be parallel?
  5. How would you graph a line with a slope of 25\frac{2}{5}?

Tip: Parallel lines have identical slopes but different y-intercepts.
