Problem

A line parallel to passes through the point and . What is the value of K?
Solution
We put the equation of the line into slope-intercept form by solving for : . That means the slope of the line is , and the slope of a parallel line must also be . The slope of the line through and is , which we set equal to and solve for . So the value of K is .
Final answer
1
