Segment xy represents the path of an airplane that passes through the coordinates (2,1)and (4,5). What is the slope of a line that represents the path of another airplane that is traveling parallel to the first airplane?
Steps: 1. Do the slope formula Y2-Y1 -------- X2-X1 2. 5-1 ------ 4-2 3. 5-1=4 4-2=2 4. 4/2=2 so your slope is 2. When a line is parallel that means it has the same slope so, the slope is 2 5. Your answer is 2
