Question

A line through which two points would be parallel to a line with a slope of 3/4?

F. (0,5) and (-4,2)

G. (0,2) and (-4,1)

H. (0,0) and (0,-2)

J. (0,-2) and (-4,-2)

Answer 1

F. (0, 5) and (-4, 2)

Explanation:

We need to calculate the slope of each of the given sets of points until we find the set associated with a slope of 3/4:

F. (0,5) and (-4,2) As we go from (-4, 2) to (0,5), x increases by 4 and y increases by 3, so the slope is m = rise / run = 3/4. This is the line with slope 3/4.
