The line joining the two points (5, 4) and (-3, k) is parallel to the line kx – y + 11 = 0
Calculation:
Equation of line joining two points:
Slope of above line =
Another line:
kx – y + 11 = 0
y = kx + 11
Slope of above line = k
Both the lines are parallel:
m1 = m2
⇒ (4 – k)/8 = k
⇒ 4 – k = 8k
⇒ 4 = 9k
⇒ k = 4/9
