The other point can be (10,5)

Explanation:

Slope of the first line is $\frac{8 - 9}{6 - 3} = - \frac{1}{3}$ $(8-9)/(6-3)= -1/3$

Since the second line is parallel to the first line, its slope would also be $- \frac{1}{3}$ $-1/3$

The second line passes through (7,6), the other point can be any which would give slope a slope of $- \frac{1}{3}$ $-1/3$ . For example the other point can be (10,5)
