Question

The point ( 3, -7 )is on a line with the slope . 2/3 Find another point on the line.

Answer 1

Answer: (6, -5)

Explanation:

The slope 2/3 means that there is a positive change of 2 in the y-value ( + 2) and a positive change in the x-value of 3 (+ 3) for every new point. To find another point on the line, we can add 2 to the y-value and 3 to the x-value.

➜ Slope is written as y over x

➜ Coordinate points are written as (x, y)

(3, -7)

(3 + 3, -7 + 2)

(6, -5)

We can also find a point on the line by graphing. See attached.
