A line passes through #(2 ,8 )# and #( 3, 5 )#. A second line passes through #( 4, 8 )#. What is one other point that the second line may pass through if it is parallel to the first line?
1 Answer
See a solution process below:
Explanation:
First, we need to determine the slope of the first line. The slope can be found by using the formula:
Where
Substituting the values from the points in the problem gives:
Because the two lines in the problem are parallel by definition they have the same slope.
A slope of
We can find another point on the second line by adding
