A line has a slope of 3/2. It passes through the point (4,5). Give the coordinates of three other points on this line
1 answer:
Well...The slop is the (Rise/Run) which means (change in y direction / change in x direction)....
Now, imagine if you catch the tip of the line and you move 3 steps in
y-direction..then you move 2 steps in the x-direction...this is what the slop means....
now the question gives you the point (4,5)=4(x coordinate) & 5(y coordinate)
so draw the x-y axis then
-put the point 4,5 on the graph
-move by the slop value (3 steps in y) then (2 steps in x)
-repeat this 3 times and every time ,record the (x,y) values that you get.

First of all, you need to attach images for this one. Second of all, graph it in desmos and compare. Thirdly, whichever looks like this.
