15.
Lines that are parallel has slope that are equal
16.
The slope formula is;
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]where m is the slope
17. points given are;
(12, 5) and (22, 13)
x₁=12 y₁=5 x₂=22 y₂=13
substituting the values into the formula;
[tex]m=\frac{13-5}{22-12}[/tex][tex]m=\frac{8}{10}=\frac{4}{5}[/tex]slope of the line is 4/5
