Line A passes through the points (-3,2) and (-23,54). Line B is parallel to line A and passes through the point (-8,0). Consider the equation of line B in the form y= a (x + b), where a and b are rational numbers.

Line A passes through (-3, 2) and (-23, 54)

slope of  line A will be

Equation of line A will be

Given line B is parallel to line A, So slope of A and B

 slope of line B will be

Also given line B passes (-8, 0), therefore the equation of line B

Therefore,

step-by-step explanation:

distance formula is d=√(x2-x1)^2   +   (y2-y1)^2
