"For no "k," any line that passes through the points"For no k, any line that passes through the points

(-2,3)" and "(-1,k)" can have slope "k(2,3) and (1,k) can have slope k.

Explanation:

The slope of line through the points (-2,3) and (-1,k)(2,3)and(1,k) is

(k-3)/(-1-(-2))=(k-3).k31(2)=(k3).

But, this slope is given to be kk.

:. k-3=k rArr -3=0," which is impossible".

:. "for no "k," any line that passes through the points"

(-2,3)" and "(-1,k)" can have slope "k.
