Question

Name two points on a line that has a slope of 5/8

Answer 1

24,10 and 16,5 have a slope of 5/8

Answer 2

Answer:

The two points on a line such that it has a slope 5/8 is:

             (0,0) and (8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope of a line is the ratio of the change in the y-coordinates to the change in the x-coordinates.

Now, let us assume that the equation of a line with slope 5/8 be given by:

        $y=\dfrac{5}{8}x$

Hence, the point (0,0) lie on the line.

(  since, when x=0 we have:

$y=\dfrac{5}{8}\times 0\\\\y=0$  )

and also the point (8,5) lie on the line.

(  when x=8 we have:

$y=\dfrac{5}{8}\times 8\\\\y=5$  )
