Parallel lines have the same slope.
H
We are asked to find the slope of a line that is parallel to the line on the graph.
The slope of a line passing through two points is defined as the ratio of the vertical change (the rise) to the horizontal change between the points — the run.
Starting with the point on the left, we need to move 3 steps horizontally in the positive direction and 1 unit vertically in the positive direction to reach the other point. Slope=Rise/Run ⇒ Slope=1/3 Therefore, the slope of the line on the graph is 13. Since a line that is parallel to the line on the graph has the same slope, the correct choice is option H.
We can also algebraically calculate the slope m of a line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) using the Slope Formula. m=y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1 First, we need to determine two lattice points on the given line.
