<h3>Answer:   Choice A.   (7,4)</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

Use the slope and given point to find the y intercept

y = mx+b

8 = (-2/3)*(1) + b

8 = -2/3 + b

8 + 2/3 = b

24/3 + 2/3 = b

26/3 = b

b = 26/3

The equation of the line is y = (-2/3)x + 26/3

To confirm this, plug in x = 1 and we should get y = 8, due to the point (1,8)

y = (-2/3)x + 26/3

y = (-2/3)*1 + 26/3

y = -2/3 + 26/3

y = (-2+26)/3

y = 24/3

y = 8

So that verifies we have the correct equation.

--------------

Next, go through each answer choice to see if the x coordinate of the point leads to the y coordinate.

If we try x = 7, then,

y = (-2/3)x + 26/3

y = (-2/3)(7) + 26/3

y = -14/3 + 26/3

y = (-14+26)/3

y = 12/3

y = 4

This shows that (7,4) is on the line. Choice A is the answer

That rules out choice B.

----------------

If we tried x = -5, then,

y = (-2/3)x + 26/3

y = (-2/3)(-5) + 26/3

y = 10/3 + 26/3

y = 36/3

y = 12

meaning that (-5,12) is on the line. That rules out choices C and D.

Refer to the graph below. It visually confirms that of the four answer choices, only point A is on the line. I used GeoGebra to make the graph.

What shows the correct substitution of the values a,b, and c from the equation 0=-3x^2-2x+6
Arlecino [84]

When dealing with a quadratic equation, you usually assign the following name to the coefficients of the variables:

ax^2+bx+c=0

So, a is the coefficient of x^2, b is the coefficient of x and c is the constant term.

In your case, the coefficient of x^2 is -3, so a=-3

The coefficient of x is -2, so b = -2

The constant term is 6, so c = 6
