Find the slope of any line parallel to the line through (14, 18) and (- 4, 14).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the slope of the line that passes through (14, 18) and (-4, 14), we use the slope formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (14 - 18) / (-4 - 14)
slope = -4 / -18
slope = 2 / 9

Any line that is parallel to this line will have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of any line parallel to the given line is 2/9. Choice B contains the fraction 2/9.
