Question

A line passes through the point (–7, 5) and has a slope of One-half. Which is another point that the line passes through?

A. (–13, 9)
B. (–9, 13)
C. (9, 13)
D. (13, 9)

Answer 1

C. (9, 13)

Explanation:

y = mx + b

y = (1/2)x + b

(-7, 5)

5 = (1/2)*(-7) + b

5 = - 7/2 + b

b = 5+ 7/2 = 10/2 + 7/2 = 17/2

y = (1/2)x + 17/2

C. (9, 13)

13 = (1/2)*9 + 17/2

13 = 26/2

13=13 True
