A straight line PQ passing through points (1,-6) and (6, 14). Determine whether a straight line which passing through (-4,-8) and (-1,7) is parallel to PQ. Explain your answer. [3 markah / marks)

line not parallel to PQ

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes

Calculate slopes m of both lines using slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (P (1, - 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q (6, 14 )

= = = = 4

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 8 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 7 )

m = = = = 5

Since slopes are not equal then lines are not parallel

what is the question here

step-by-step explanation:

fa tha first one you gonna add y to both sides

it look like this

x-y+y=6+y

x=y+6

therefore your answer is

x =y+6

fa tha second one

you gonna flip tha equation

it gonna look like x-4y=y

then add 4 to both sides

it gonna look like tha

x-4 +4 =y +4

so therefore tha answer is x=y+4
