Question

A line with slope 2 passes through the point (2, -4). Find the coordinates of another point on the line.​

Answer 1

Answer:

(3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

 We can view slope as: $\frac{rise}{run}$ (rise / run)

"rise" is the change in y from one point to another

"run" is the difference in x from one point to another

So, if the slope of a line is 2, it rises 2 every time it runs 1 (2 = 2/1)

So, we can find another point on the line by adding 2 to the y-value, and adding 1 to the x-value.

(x, y)  

          (2, -4)

         + 1  + 2

           (3, -2)

So, another point on this graph is (3, -2)
