Question

3. You want to plot the collinear points A(-2, 3), A'(x, y), and A"(3, 7) on the same

coordinate plane. Do you have enough information to find the values of x and y?
Explain your reasoning. Hint the answer is yes, strategize, show work and justify your answer.​

Answer 1

Not enough information

Explanation:

we know that

If the three points are collinear

then

the slope of AA'' is equal to the slope of A'A''

With point A and point A" I can determine the equation of the line that joins the three points, however to determine the coordinates of point A' I need to know at least one coordinate of point A'

therefore
