Question 8 options:

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on what you have here as the slope we can set the slope formula equal to 34 using the points (0, 8) and (8, c) to solve for c, then use the points (0, 8) and (a, 5) to solve for a.  

c first:

$\frac{c-8}{8-0}=34$ and

$\frac{c-8}{8}=34$ and

c - 8 = 272 s0

c = 280

For a:

$\frac{5-8}{a-0}=34$ and

$\frac{-3}{a}=34$ and

-34a = 3 so

$a=-\frac{3}{34}$

That seems a little weird, but when you plug those points into the slope formula to solve for the slope, it works out the way it should.
