One other point through which the second parallel line will pass is (2.5, 10.8)
Explanation:
Let the two lines be AB & CD.
Both the lines will have same slope ‘m’
Slope of
Equation of CD is
Substituting the values of x, y of point C, we get the value of constant c
Equation of parallel CD is
By choosing a value for x in the above equation arbitrarily and substituting the same in this equation, we can get the. Coordinate.
Let x = (5/2), then
One other point through which the second parallel line will pass is (2.5, 10.8)
