A line through which two points would be parallel to a line with a slope of 3/4?
Answer Options:
a.)(0,5) and (-4,2)
b.)(0,2) and (-4,1)
c.)(0,0) and (0,-2)
d.)(0,-2) and (-4,-2)
Work out the slope of each option from (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1):
a. slope = (2 - 5)/(-4 - 0) = -3/-4 = 3/4
b. slope = (1 - 2)/(-4 - 0) = -1/-4 = 1/4
c. slope = (-2 - 0)/(0 - 0) = -2/0 ⇒ vertical line
d. slope = (-2 - -2)/(-4 - 0) = 0/-4 = 0 ⇒ horizontal line
