Rectangle TUVW is on a coordinate plane at T (a, b), U (a + 2, b + 2), V (a + 5, b − 1), and W (a + 3, b − 3). What is the slope of the line that is parallel to the line that contains side TU?

Question

Answer choices:

1

-1

2

-2

You don't have to give me the answer I just need to know how to do it for a study guide/assignment

Answer 1

Use slope formula from Algebra 1.

m = (y₁ - y₂) / (x₁ - x₂)

m = (b + 2 - b) / (a + 2 - a)
