Answer :
No, the line passing through (-4, 26) and (-2, 0) is not parallel to line passing through (10, 18) and (5, 3) because slopes of both lines are different.
Line is possible in 2-d forms so, it has only x and y-co-ordinates. Z-co-ordinates is not possible.
We know very well that to prove any two lines are parallel to each other we need to prove only whether their slopes are equal or not.
Now, talking about the slopes we know that if any line is passing from point(x₁,y₁) and again passing from other point(x₂,y₂) then slope(m) of that line is given by the formula=(y₂-y₁) / (x₂-x₁)
So, for first line we have (x₁, y₁)=(-4,26)
and (x₂, y₂)=(-2,0)
So, slope(m₁) of first line is =(0-26)/(-2 - (-4))
=>m₁ = -26/2
=>m₁ = -13 ----(eq1)
Similarly, for second line, we have (x₁, y₁)=(10,18)
and (x₂, y₂)=(5,3)
So, slope(m₂) of second line is =(3-18) / (5-10)
=>m₂ = -15/-5
=>m₂= 3 -------(eq2)
On comparing eq1 and eq2,we get
=>m₁≠m₂.
Hence, the given lines are not parallel.
