Step 1
<u>Find the slope of the line PQ</u>
we know that
the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
we have
substitute the values
Step 2
Find the equation of the line that passes through point R ans is parallel to line PQ
we know that
If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same
The equation of the line into point-slope form is equal to
we have
substitute the values
Step 3
we know that
The point on the y-axis that is on the line is equal to the y-intercept of the line
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
so
For find the value of y in the linear equation
The point that is on the y-axis is
therefore
<u>the answer is the option A</u>
