The correct Answer is:
To find the slope of the line parallel to line AB, we first need to calculate the slope of line AB using the coordinates of points A and B. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the coordinates of points A and B**: - Point A = (-2, 4) - Point B = (0, 6) 2. **Use the slope formula**: The slope (m) of a line through two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula: \[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \] 3. **Assign the coordinates**: - Let \((x_1, y_1) = (-2, 4)\) (Point A) - Let \((x_2, y_2) = (0, 6)\) (Point B) 4. **Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula**: \[ m = \frac{6 - 4}{0 - (-2)} \] 5. **Simplify the expression**: - Calculate the numerator: \(6 - 4 = 2\) - Calculate the denominator: \(0 - (-2) = 0 + 2 = 2\) \[ m = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \] 6. **State the slope of line AB**: The slope of line AB is \(1\). 7. **Determine the slope of the parallel line**: Since parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the line parallel to AB is also \(1\). ### Final Answer: The slope of the line parallel to AB is \(1\).
