Explanation:
I understand this that we need to find a point B for each of a) to f).
remember, the slope is the (y coordinate difference / x coordinate difference) when going from one point on the line to the other.
a)
the slope 2/3 means that when going to B x has to increase by 3, and y has to increase by 2.
so, B = (-2 + 3, 5 + 2) = (1, 7)
b)
-2/3 means that either x or y have to decrease and the other to increase.
e.g. x increases by 3, y decreases by 2.
so, B = (-2 + 3, 5 - 2) = (1, 3)
c)
4 stands for 4/1.
so, x increases by 1, y increases by 4.
B = (-2 + 1, 5 + 4) = (-1, 9)
d)
similar to c) -3 stands for -3/1.
and similar to b) either x or y has to decrease and the other to increase.
e.g. x increases by 1, y decreases by 3.
B = (-2 + 1, 5 - 3) = (-1, 2)
e)
that means the y difference is 0. B has the same y coordinate.
e.g. B = (3, 5)
x can be any value.
the line is a horizontal line going through y = 5 or (0, 5) on the y-axis.
f)
that means the x difference is 0. B has the same x coordinate.
e.g. B = (-2, 9)
y can be any value.
the line is a vertical line going through x = -2 or (-2, 0) on the x-axis.
