segment XY represents the path of an airplane that passes through the coordinates 21 and 4/5 what is the slope of a line that represents the path of another airplane that is traveling parallel to the first airplane
To find the slope of a line that is parallel to another line, you need to use the fact that parallel lines have the same slope.
Given that segment XY represents the path of the first airplane and passes through the coordinates (21, 4/5), we need to determine the slope of this line.
The slope, denoted as m, can be computed using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line.
The coordinate (21, 4/5) tells us that (x1, y1) = (21, 4/5). Since we don't have another specific point on the line, we can't calculate the slope for the first airplane accurately.
However, we can still determine the slope for the second airplane that is traveling parallel to the first airplane if we are given the coordinates of another point on that line.
If you have the coordinates of another point on the second airplane's path, please provide them so I can assist you further in finding the slope.
