Question

question 8 of 10

lines r and s are parallel. if the slope of line r is \\(\frac{2}{5}\\), what is the slope of line s?

a. \\(\frac{2}{5}\\)

b. \\(\frac{5}{2}\\)

c. \\(-\frac{5}{2}\\)

d. \\(-\frac{2}{5}\\)

Explanation:

Identify the relationship between the lines

$$ \text{Line } r \parallel \text{Line } s $$

Apply the parallel line slopes property

$$ m_s = m_r $$

Substitute the given slope value
