Line C passes through points (0, 2) and (8, 8). What is the slope of a line parallel to Line C?

A. -4/3

B. -3/4

C. 3/4

D. 4/3

Respuesta :

slope = [tex] \frac{8-2}{8-0} [/tex] = 3/4
Parallel line shares the same slope ..there 3/4

Answer : C

The slope of a line parallel to Line C is [tex]\bold{\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]

The correct answer is an option (C)

What is the formula of the slope?

"The slope of the line passing through two points [tex](x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)[/tex] is

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]"

For given question,

Line C passes through points (0, 2) and (8, 8).

Let, [tex](x_1,y_1)=(0,2),(x_2,y_2)=(8,8)[/tex]

So, the slope of the line C is,

[tex]m=\frac{8-2}{8-0}\\\\ m=\frac{6}{8}\\\\ m=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

The slope of the line C is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

We know, the slope of the parallel lines is equal.

This means, the slope of any line which is parallel to the line C is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Therefore,  the slope of a line parallel to Line C is [tex]\bold{\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]

The correct answer is an option (C)
