Question

Which ordered pairs could be points on a line parallel to the line that contains (3, 4) and (–2, 2)? Check all that apply.

(–2, –5) and (–7, –3)
(–1, 1) and (–6, –1)
(0, 0) and (2, 5)
(1, 0) and (6, 2)
(3, 0) and (8, 2)

Answer 1

B, D, E On Edge

Explanation:

Answer 2

B, D, E

Explanation:

If a line is parallel to another line, then the slope has to be the same. Thus we first want to find the slope of the line given, by using the slope formula: m = (y_1 - y_0)/(x_1 - x_0): (2 - 4)/(-2-3) = 2/5

We proceed to find the slope of the following answer choices:

A. (-3-(-5))/(-7-(-2)) = -2/5

B. (-1-1)/(-6-(-1)) = 2/5

C. (5 - 0)/(2-0) = 5/2

D. (2-0)/(6-1) = 2/5

E. (2-0)/(8-3) = 2/5

Thus, we have B, D, E
