On a coordinate plane, line K L goes through (negative 6, 8) and (6, 0). Point M is at (negative 4, negative 2). Which point could be on the line that is parallel to line KL and passes through point M? (–10, 0) (–6, 2) (0, –6) (8, –10)

The point that lies on the line parallel to line KL would be ( 8, - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Line KL passes through the points ( - 6, 8 ) and ( 6, 0 ) while it's respective parallel line passes through point M, ( - 4, - 2 ).

Our approach here is to first determine the slope of KL such that the slope of it's parallel line will be the same, and hence we can determine a second point on this line.

Slope of KL : ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ ),

( 0 - 8 ) / ( 6 - ( - 6 ) ) = - 8 / 6 + 6 = - 8 / 12 = - 2 / 3

Slope of respective Parallel line : - 2 / 3,

Another point on Parallel line : ( 8, - 10 )

How can we check if this point really belongs to the parallel line? Let's take the slope given the points ( - 4, - 2 ) and ( 8, - 10 ), and check if it is - 2 / 3.

( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ ),

( - 10 - ( - 2 ) ) / ( 8 - ( - 4 ) ) = ( - 10 + 2 ) / ( 8 + 4 ) = - 8 / 12 = - 2 / 3

And therefore we can confirm that this point belongs to line KL's parallel line, that passes through point M.

these sign is used to tell weather the number is greater or less than the number   <   or >     but this sign means its equal =
