60. What is the slope of a line that passes through the point (-1, 1) and is parallel to a line that passes through
(3.6) and (1, -2)?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from (1, -2) to (3,6), x increases by 2 and y increases by 8.  Thus, the slope m of this line is m = rise / run = 8/2 = 4.

I think you meant, "What is the EQUATION of the line that passes through the point (-1, 1) and is parallel to a line that passes through

(3, 6) and (1, -2)?  We have seen that this slope is -4.  

Starting with the point-slope equation of a line, we have:

y - 6 = -4(x - 3)
