Endpoints of segment MN have coordinates (0, −3), (−2, −4). Endpoints of segment AB have coordinates (2, 5), (4, k).

Endpoints of segment MN have coordinates (0, −3), (−2, −4). Endpoints of segment AB have coordinates (2, 5), (4, k).

b

What value of k makes these segments parallel

That reference is meaningless, to me.

Do you know: How are the slopes of parallel lines related?

Do you know how to express the slope of each line segment?

What have you tried or thought about, so far. Where are you stuck?

Please also be sure to read the forum guidelines. Thanks! :cool:
