Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
If two lines are parallel then their slopes are always same.
Following this rule we can find the slope by the given pairs of coordinates of the options.
If the slope of the line is same as the slope of y axis then the line passing through these points will be parallel to the y axis.
Slope of y - axis = ∞
Option A). Slope =
=
=
= 775
Therefore, line passing through points (3.2, 8.5) and (3.22, 24) is not parallel to y axis.
Option B). Slope of the line passing through and
will be
=
= ∞
Therefore, line passing though these points is parallel to the y axis.
Option C). Slope of the line passing through and (7.2, 5.4)
=
= 0
Therefore, slope of this line is not equal to the slope of y axis.
Option B. is the answer.
