JNU SSS 2017 Question 38: Coordinate and solid geometry

Line L1L_1L1​ passes through the points (−2,0)(-2, 0)(−2,0) and (0,k)(0, k)(0,k). Line L2L_2L2​ passes through the points (4,0)(4, 0)(4,0) and (6,2)(6, 2)(6,2). What value of kkk makes the two lines parallel?

Plain-text version

Line L₁ passes through the points (-2, 0) and (0, k). Line L₂ passes through the points (4, 0) and (6, 2). What value of k makes the two lines parallel? (A) 1/2 (B) -2 (C) 2 (D) -1/2

Also written as: Line L_1 passes through the points (-2, 0) and (0, k). Line L_2 passes through the points (4, 0) and (6, 2). What value of k makes the two lines parallel?
