Question
The line s passes through the points (0, -7) and (6, 5). Which equation is an equation of a line parallel to line s?
- y = - 2 x - 9
Hint:
In this question we have to find the equation of the line parallel to line s. From the given equation of line s we will find the slope first also we know that the slope of both the lines will be equal as lines are parallel . Now from the given options we will find the equation which has slope as 2.
The correct answer is:
Given, The line s passes through the points (0, -7) and (6, 5).
Slope of the line = 
slope of the parallel to given line will also be 2.
so the equation of the line parallel to the given line from the options is y=2x+3.
