Solution


To find:
    • The slope of line m

Analysing Statement 1
    • Slope of line m = \(\frac{(-7 – 5)}{(5 - 1)} = \frac{-12}{4} = -3\)

Therefore, Statement 1 is sufficient to find the answer

Analysing Statement 2
    • Slope of line 3x + y = 17 is \(\frac{-3}{1} = -3\)
    • Since, line m is parallel to this line, their slopes must be same, that is -3

Therefore, Statement 2 is sufficient to find the answer

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

Answer: D
