Line m has a y-intercept of c and a slope of p/q , where p > 0, q > 0, and p ≠ q. What is the slope of a line that is parallel to line m?

Question

A.-p/q

B. p/q

C.-q/p

D.q/p

Answer 1

line m is

y = (p/q)x + c

a parallel line is

y = (p/q)x + b where b does not = c

B is the correct answer for slope of a parallel line

C is the slope of a perpendicular line = the negative inverse
