Answer:

option B A line passing through points (1,10) and (0,8)

option D A line passing through points (4,2) and (8,10)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are parallel , then their slopes are the same

In this problem we have

[tex]y=2x-4[/tex]

The slope is equal to

[tex]m=2[/tex]

Remember that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Verify each case

case A) A line passing through points (0,6) and (2,2)

substitute in the formula

[tex]m=\frac{2-6}{2-0}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-4}{2}[/tex]

[tex]m=-2[/tex]

Compare with the slope of the given line (m=2)

[tex]-2\neq2[/tex]

therefore

This line is not parallel to the given line

case B) A line passing through points (1,10) and (0,8)

substitute in the formula

[tex]m=\frac{8-10}{0-1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-2}{-1}[/tex]

[tex]m=2[/tex]

Compare with the slope of the given line (m=2)

[tex]2=2[/tex]

therefore

This line is parallel to the given line

case C) A line passing through points (10,1) and (8,0)

substitute in the formula

[tex]m=\frac{0-1}{8-10}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{-1}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]m=0.5[/tex]

Compare with the slope of the given line (m=2)

[tex]0.5\neq2[/tex]

therefore

This line is not parallel to the given line

case D) A line passing through points (4,2) and (8,10)

substitute in the formula

[tex]m=\frac{10-2}{8-4}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{8}{4}[/tex]

[tex]m=2[/tex]

Compare with the slope of the given line (m=2)

[tex]2=2[/tex]

therefore

This line is parallel to the given line
