Which of the following is not enough information to find the equation of a line?

A. The slope and y-intercept
B. The slope and one point on the line
C. The equation of a parallel line
D. Two points on the line

Answer (3)

The equation of a parallel line is not enough information to find the equation of a new line, as it only provides the slope but lacks the y-intercept needed to define a unique line equation. ;

Knowing the equation of a parallel line is not enough information to find the equation of a specific line because it only provides the slope, not the unique y-intercept or any specific point on the line. ;

To find the equation of a line, sufficient information includes options A, B, and D, while option C (the equation of a parallel line) does not provide enough specific information since it only gives the slope and not a unique y-intercept. Therefore, the correct answer is C. The equation of a parallel line.
