A line with slope -1/2 passes through point Q (6, 7). Does point S (2, 5) lie on the same line? Without graphing, explain how you found your answer.

If the slope of the two points is -1/2 then it lies on the line

Slope change in y/ change in x

= (7-5)/(2-4) = 2/-4 = -1/2 so yes the point is on the line
