Question

A line has a slope of -2/5. Generate the coordinates of two points that would lie on the same line

Answer 1

Answer:

Many solutions are possible. One example is (10,5) and (5,7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is the distance between points represented as a ratio of vertical to horizontal distances. It is a difference or subtraction. To find two points work backwards. What two points have y values with a distance of -2?

5-7=-2

So the points are (x,5) and (x,7).

Now what x values have a distance of 5?

10-5 = 5

So the points are (10,5) and (5,7).
