Answer 1

Answer: Their equations have different y-intercept but the same slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the slope of the line passes through the points (2002,p) and (2011,q) is,

$m_1 = \frac{q-p}{2011-2002} = \frac{q-p}{9}$

Similarly, the slope of the line asses through the points (2,p) and (11,q) is,

$m_2 = \frac{q-p}{11-2} = \frac{q-p}{9}$

Since, $m_1 = m_2$

Hence, both line have the same slope.

Now, the equation of the line one having slope $m_1$ and passes through the point (2002,p) is,

$y - p = \frac{q-p}{9}(x-2002)$

Put x = 0 in the above equation,

We get, $y = \frac{2000(p-q)}{9}+p$

The y-intercept of the line one is $(0, \frac{2000(p-q)}{9}+p)$

Also, the equation of second line having slope $m_2$ and passes through the point (2,p)

$y-p=\frac{q-p}{9}(x-2)$

Put x = 0 in the above equation,

We get, $y = \frac{2(p-q)}{9}+p$

The y-intercept of the line one is $(0, \frac{2(p-q)}{9}+p)$

Thus, both line have the different y-intercepts.

⇒ Third option is correct.
