    The value of y, so that the line through (3,y) and (2, 7) is parallel to the line through\[(-1,4)\] and (0, 6), is

    A)  5               

    B)  \[-5\]

    C)  9               

    D)  \[-9\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Slope of the line passing through the points (3,y) and (2,7) is \[{{m}_{1}}=\frac{7-y}{2-3}=y-7\] Slope of line passing through the points\[(-1,4)\]and (0,6) is\[{{m}_{1}}=\frac{7-y}{2-3}=y-7\] Since, both the lines are parallel. \[\therefore \] \[{{m}_{1}}={{m}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y-7=2\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y=9\]
