Transcript text: 19. A city planner wants to build a road parallel to 2 nd Ave. What is the slope of the new road?
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the slope of a road parallel to 2nd Ave, we need to determine the slope of 2nd Ave itself. If the slope of 2nd Ave is given or can be derived from a line equation, the slope of the new road will be the same, as parallel lines have identical slopes.
To solve the problem, we need to determine the slope of a new road that is parallel to 2nd Ave. However, the problem does not provide the slope of 2nd Ave. directly. We will assume that the slope of 2nd Ave. is given or can be determined from additional context or data not provided in the question. For the purpose of this solution, let's assume the slope of 2nd Ave. is \( m \).
Step 1: Understanding Parallel Lines
Parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, if we know the slope of 2nd Ave., the slope of the new road will be the same.
Step 2: Determine the Slope of 2nd Ave.
Assume the slope of 2nd Ave. is \( m \). This is a necessary assumption since the problem does not provide this information.
Step 3: Assign the Slope to the New Road
Since the new road is parallel to 2nd Ave., its slope will also be \( m \).
Final Answer
The slope of the new road is the same as the slope of 2nd Ave., which is \( \boxed{m} \).
