Answer:
k = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = - 3x + 5 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = - 3
Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus the 2 points have a slope of - 3
calculate the slope using the slope formula and equate to - 3
m =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (k, 5)
m = =
= - 3 ( multiply both sides by (k - 4) )
- 3(k - 4) = 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
k - 4 = - 2 ( add 4 to both sides )
k = 2
