A and B lie on the line, yes, but what specifically are you supposed to do? Looks like your problem statement was cut off before you'd finished typing it in.
You say your line passes thru (-2,5) and has a slope of 2/3? Then, using the point-slope formula,
y-5 = (2/3)(x+2) This is the general equation for your line.
Now let's play around with B(-2,y). Suppose we subst. the x-coordinate of B, which is -2, into the equation y-5 = (2/3)(x+2); we get y-5 = (2/3)(-2+2) = 0. This tells us that y must be 5. But we already knew that!!
So, please review the original problems with its instructions and this discussion and tell me what you need to know from this point on.
Answer:
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
2, -1
Step-by-step explanation:
You are subtracting 3 each time. (-3)
You would look at number after the thousandths place to go up or down 72,000.
