Question

Determine which points lie on the line that contains the point (2,3) and has a slope of -7/4

Answer 1

Hint:
Put into point-slope form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
m = slope
y1 and x1 = values of x and y

y - 3 = -7/4(x - 2)

Solve for y in order to convert to slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b
where m = slope
b = y-intercept.


To determine which of the following points also lies on the line, simply substitute the value of x and see if the resulting y is the same as the y of the point in question.
