Question

A line has a slope of - 3/5. Which ordered pairs could be points on a parallel line? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D ) (-2, 1) and (3, -2)

In order to find this, we must find the full value of the equation using one of the points and the slope. This will allow us to find the y-intercept. We'll use the (-2, 1) point to start.

y = mx + b

1 = -3/5(-2) + b

1 = 6/5 + b

-1/5 = b

This y-intercept gives us the overall equation of y = -3/5x - 1/5. Now we can try the other point in the equation to see if it works as well.

y = -3/5x - 1/5

-2 = -3/5(3) - 1/5

-2 = -9/5 - 1/5

-2 = -10/5

-2 = -2 (TRUE)

Since this works in the equation, we know that D is the correct answer.
