Answer:

x = -5

y = 5

Explanation:

You could write the equation in the point slope form of a line

y -
y_(1) = m( x -
x_(1))

Use the slope they gave us 2/3. Use the point they gave us for
x_(1) ( -2 ) and
y_(1) ( 5)

y -5 = 2/3(x - -2)

y - 5 = 2/3(x + 2) Plug in 3 for y to solve for x

3-5 = 2/3(x + 2)

-2 = 2/3x + 4/3 subtract 4/3 from both sides of the equation

-2 - 4/3 = 2/3x


(-6)/(3) -
(4)/(3) = 2/3x


(-10)/(3) = 2/3 x Multiply both sides by
(3)/(2)

(
(3)/(2))
(-10)/(3) = (
(3)/(2))(
(2)/(3)) x

-5 = x

substitute in -2 for x to solve for y

y - 5 = 2/3(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2/3(-2+2)

y - 5 = 2/3(0)

y - 5 = 0 Add 5 to both sides

y = 5

Answer:

x = - 5;

y = 5;

Step-by-step explanation:

Identify the equation.

y = ( 2 / 3 )x + c;

Substitute a point.

5 = ( 2 / 3 )( - 2 ) + c;

5 = ( - 4 / 3 ) + c;

5 - ( - 4 / 3 ) = c;

5 + ( 4 / 3 ) = c;

19 / 3 = c;

y = ( 2 / 3 )x + ( 19 / 3 );

Substitute point A.

3 = ( 2 / 3 )x + ( 19 / 3 );

3 - ( 19 / 3 ) = ( 2 / 3 )x;

( 9 / 3 ) - ( 19 / 3 ) = ( 2 / 3 )x;

- ( 10 / 3 ) = ( 2 / 3 )x;

- ( 10 / 3 )( 3 / 2 ) = x;

( - 30 / 6 ) = x;

- 5 = x;

x = - 5;

Substitute point B. Use common sense and notice that point B is actually the same as the first point.

y = 5;
