Answer 1

Anyone at all?

Answer 2

y would be 23

Answer 3

(-5,2) and (2,23)

Answer 4

Thank you, but do you mind showing me the steps?

Answer 5

Do you know how to find the slope between 2 points?

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

Set it up, including the missing variable, and set it equal to 3. Then solve.

Answer 8

so it would be

3 - 2

over

2 - (-5) ?

Answer 9

y-2 over 2+5

Answer 10

Ahh

Answer 11

then set it equal to 3 and solve..

Answer 12

(y-2)/7=3

multiply both sides by 7, then add 2

Answer 13

So I replace Y with 3, then I did that whole part. I got 1/7

Answer 14

Multiply both sides by 7
