Since slope is calculated using the formula m= 2 11 the

X2 - X1

slope of both lines is equivalent to L . It is given

that the lines are parallel, and we calculated that the slopes

are the same. Therefore, parallel lines have the same

slopes.

A. V-Z/ W-X

B. W-X/V-Z

C. V-Z+B/X-Z+B

D. W-X+A/V-Z+B
