Question

Which of the following equations is parallel to the line passing through A(−2, 7), B(−2, −2)? (1 point)

Answer 1

Well first you would have to figure out what the slope is, because parallel lines have the same slope but different y intercepts. Can you do that?

Answer 2

no >.< @halorazer

Answer 3

You can turn points into a slope by doing the equation y2-y1/x2-x1
So your points are -2,7 and -2,-2.
Are you able to figure out the slope with that information?

Answer 4

-2 ?

Answer 5

equation of the line formed by given points is,,
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m=not defined
y+2=0
so y=-2

Answer 6

I have to disagree on your result sir. it's asking for a line parallel to it. Not the same line itself?

Answer 7

i know that the line is undefined, however the end result should be a number other than -2?

Answer 8

yup you r correct but when i told i have given the required equation..
i have mentioned there line passing through given point...n waiting for further response that does the user understand this or not.

Answer 9

It can't be y=-2, because all y values would be -2 in the case. (-2,7), does not follow that

Answer 10

The slope is undefined. The answer should be x=-2, not y=-2 @halorazer

Answer 11

Don't know why that isn't a choice, though

Answer 12

That was what I was thinking as well but I figured that I was wrong because it isn't on the list of answers.

Answer 13

You're not wrong, maybe it is a typo on the answer box.

Answer 14

slope 7-(-2)/-2-(-2) = 9/0

Answer 15

for the given equation x =-2
from the choice of answers option 3 is the only one for which x = a constant.
