A line passes through $(2, 2)$ $(2 ,2 )$ and $(1, 2)$ $(1 ,2 )$ . A second line passes through $(7, 4)$ $( 7, 4 )$ . What is one other point that the second line may pass through if it is parallel to the first line?

$(5, 4)$ $(5,4)$ may be other point through which the line passes.

The slope of the line passing through $(2, 2) and (1, 2)$ $(2,2) and (1,2)$

is $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{2 - 2}{1 - 2} = \frac{0}{- 1} = 0$ $m= (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)= (2-2)/(1-2)=0/-1=0$ .

The slope $0$ $0$ means the line is parallal to the $x$ $x$ axis

at $y$ $y$ coordinate of $2$ $2$ .

Second line passes through point $7, 4$ $7,4$

Second line will be parallal to the $x$ $x$ axis at $y$ $y$ coordinate

of $4$ $4$ . There are numerous points at $y$ $y$ coordinate of $4$ $4$ ,

parallal to the $x$ $x$ axis through which the line passes.

So $(5, 4)$ $(5,4)$ may be other point through which the line passes.[Ans]

A line passes through (2,2)(2 ,2 ) and (1,2)(1 ,2 ). A second line passes through (7,4)( 7, 4 ). What is one other point that the second line may pass through if it is parallel to the first line?
