Question

A line passes through point (-2, 5) and has a slope of 3. Points A(x 3) and B(-2, y lie on the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -8/3

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the equation of the line:

y = 3x +c

Substituting (-2,5) into 'y=3x+c':

5 = -6 + c

c = 11

Hence,

y = 3x + 11

For finding x:

Substituting (x, 3) into 'y = 3x +11':

3 = 3x + 11

3x = -8

x = -8/3

For finding y:

Substituting (-2, y) into 'y = 3x + 11':

y = -6 + 11

y = 5
