Question

A line has a slope of 2 and passes (5,3). Find a coordinate of another point this line will pass through. Plz show work.

Answer 1

Answer: (0,-7)

Explanation:

Use the slope intercept formula y = mx+b to solve for b

Substitute your given values: slope of 2 for m, use the point given (5,3) where 5 is the x value, and 3 is the y value, then solve for b.

3=2*5 +b

3=10+b

b= -7

Since b is the y intercept its x coordinate is 0. So the point is (0,-7)

Answer 2

(6,5)

Explanation:

The slope means y travels 2 while x travels 1. So 5+1 would be x and 3+2 would be y.
