Question

The line is given by equation y–1.5x = c. What is the value of c if the line passes through the point K (2, –3).

Answer 1

c = -6

Explanation:

y–1.5x = c

-3 - 1.5(2) = c

-3 - 3 = c

c = -6

Answer 2

c = 6

Explanation:

Let's plug in 2 for x and -3 for y into the equation:

y - 1.5x = c

-3 - 1.5 * 2 = c

-3 - 3 = c

-6 = c

Thus c = 6.
