Find the slope

• -5/3

• -3/5

• 5/3

• 3/5

Answer explanation

$\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{V}{H}=-\frac{5}{3}$

NEGATIVE, "nice negative" (going down slope from left to right)

Find the slope of the line.

• Undefined

• 0

• 1

• -1

Answer explanation

$slope\ =\ \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{V}{H}$
In this case, there is NO vertical change, so it's:
$\frac{0}{\Delta x}=\frac{0}{H}=0$
Zero divided by any number is still zero.

The slopes of parallel lines are...

• the same

• opposite

• always different

Answer explanation

Since parallel lines must have the same angle (go in the same direction), then parallel lines have the same slope — and lines with the same slope are parallel.
