Identifying Points on Parallel Lines Using Slope On a coordinate plane, a line with negative slope goes through (negative 8, 6) and (4, negative 4). A point is at (negative 6, 10). Which is the ordered pair for the point on the x-axis that is on the line parallel to the given line and through the given point (–6, 10)? (6, 0) (0, 6) (−5, 0) (0, −5)
