Answer to Problem 49PPS
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Line containing (1, -3) and (3, y ) is parallel to the line containing (5, -6) and (9, y )
We know that the slope of a line is given by the formula,
We know that when the lines are parallel their slopes are equal.
Therefore we get,
Now points on the line are (1, -3) and (3, 0).
Other line contains (5, -6) and (9, 0) Graph the points and join them.
