Question 3 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

A line has a slope of negative 3 fifths Which ordered pairs could be points on a parallel line? Choose two correct answers.

Answer

open paren negative 3 comma 6 close paren and open paren 6 comma negative 9 close paren

open paren 0 comma 2 close paren and open paren 5 comma 5 close paren

open paren negative 5 comma negative 1 close paren and open paren 0 comma 2 close paren

open paren negative 8 comma 8 close paren and open paren 2 comma 2 close paren

open paren negative 2 comma 1 close paren and open paren 3 comma negative 2 close paren

Explanation

Parallel lines have the same slope, so compare each pair’s slope with −3/5. For B, the change in y is −3 and the change in x is 5, giving a slope of −3/5. For C, the change in y is −6 and the change in x is 10, which also gives −6/10 = −3/5. The other pairs have slopes that do not match.
