$"For no "k," any line that passes through the points"$

$(-2,3)" and "(-1,k)" can have slope "k$ .

The slope of line through the points $(-2,3) and (-1,k)$ is

$(k-3)/(-1-(-2))=(k-3).$

But, this slope is given to be $k$ .

$:. k-3=k rArr -3=0," which is impossible"$ .

$:. "for no "k," any line that passes through the points"$

$(-2,3)" and "(-1,k)" can have slope "k$ .
