What is the slope of the line passing through the points (-1, 7) and (3, 4)?

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for slope is [ y2-y1/x2-x1 ].

4-7/3-(-1)

-3/4

Best of Luck!

what

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
