Question 32

Mathematics Line Easy

If the line through (3, y) and (2,7) is parallel to the line through (-1,4) and (0,6). then the value of y is:

(A) -7
(B) 9
(C) 7
(D) 2
✓ Correct Answer: Option B Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Solution

Solution

Step 1: Find slope of line through \((-1,4)\) and \((0,6)\).
Formula: \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \)
\( m = \frac{6 - 4}{0 - (-1)} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \).
Step 2: Find slope of line through \((3,y)\) and \((2,7)\).
\( m = \frac{y - 7}{3 - 2} = y - 7 \).
Step 3: Since lines are parallel, their slopes are equal:
\( y - 7 = 2 \).
Step 4: Solve for \( y \):
\( y = 2 + 7 = 9 \).

✅ Final Answer: \( y = 9 \)
Correct Option: op_B (9)
