find the value of p if the line which passes through (-1, -p) and (-2,2) is parallel to the line 2y+8x-17=0?
A.
-2/7
B.
7/6
C.
-6/7
D.
2
Correct Answer:
2
Explanation
Line: 2y + 8x -17 = 0 recall y = mx + c 2y = -8x + 17 y = -4x + 17/2 Slope m

= 4 parallel lines: m

-4 ( -2 - -1) = 2 - -p p = 4 - 2 = 2
