original slope = -4/3
parallel slope = -4/3
Explanation:
For a line to be parallel to anpother line, the slope of both lines must be equal.
We need to find the slope of the given line by picking any two points on the line.
Using points (-6, 5) and (0, -3)
slope formula:
[tex]m\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x_1=-6,y_1=5,x_2=0,y_2\text{ = -}3 \\ \text{slope = m= }\frac{-3-5}{0-(-6)}=\frac{-8}{0+6} \\ m\text{ = -8/6} \\ m\text{ = -4/3} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The equation of the given line: y = mx + b
b = y-intercept = -3
y = -4/3x - 3
The equation line parallel to the one above could be:
y = -4/3 x + 7
This because the slope are the same
original slope = -4/3
parallel slope = -4/3
