Question
Write an equation of the line that passes through $(1,-1)$ and is parallel to the line that passes through $(3,-3)$ and $(5,-2) .$
Step 1
The slope of a line given two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. So, the slope of the line is $\frac{-2 - (-3)}{5 - 3} = \frac{1}{2}$. Show more…
