A line passes through #(8 ,9 )# and #(6 ,2 )#. A second line passes through #(3 ,4 )#. What is one other point that the second line may pass through if it is parallel to the first line?
1 Answer
Explanation:
The gradient of the first line is given by
which gives the gradient of the first line.
If two lines are parallel, then they have the same gradient, which means the gradient of the second line is also
Using the standard line equation,
Therefore, if we choose any random
It's always nicer to work in fractions, though sometimes it can be easier to convert to decimals. Mix and match where you feel one is easier than the other.
This gives the point
