To find the slope of the line that is parallel to the given line, we first need to determine the slope of the given line. Parallel lines have identical slopes.
The line passes through the points (−4, 0) and (0, 7).
Steps to Find the Slope:
Calculate the slope (m) using the formula:
where () and () are the coordinates of the two points.
Substitute the given points into the formula:
Point 1: (
