Question

Determine another point on the line given two points on the line. (0,5), (4,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

(2,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this on a graphing calculator

Answer 2

Answer:

(3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take y2 and y1, subtract them, then x2 and y1 and subtract them you will get your slope.

1-5=-4

4-0=4

Divide -4/4 and you will get -1.

-1 is your slope so if you graph the two dots and use -1 in both directions, vertically and horizontally on the line you can use any of those points.  I got (3,2) by going left then up 1 to (4,1).
