A line passes through $(3, 6)$ $(3 ,6 )$ and $(2, 8)$ $(2 ,8 )$ . A second line passes through $(7, 1)$ $(7 ,1 )$ . What is one other point that the second line may pass through if it is parallel to the first line?

(6,3)

If 2 lines are parallel they must have the same gradient.
The gradient of the first line is $\frac{6 - 8}{3 - 2} = - 2$ $(6-8)/(3-2)=-2$

A line passes through (3,6)(3 ,6 ) and (2,8)(2 ,8 ). A second line passes through (7,1)(7 ,1 ). What is one other point that the second line may pass through if it is parallel to the first line?
