If line k in the xy-plane has equation y = mx + b, where
m and b are constants, what is the slope of k ?
(1) k is parallel to the line with equation y = (1 - m)x + b + 1.
(2) k intersects the line with equation y = 2x + 3 at the point (2,7).
I can understand that St (1) is sufficient but i cannot understand why st(2) is not sufficient.

xy-plane has 360 degree measurement for all geometric objects placed on the plane freely
st(2) suggests only one point where k intersects line function y=2x+3. The slope of line k can be anything here. Therefore it's not sufficient.
