Question

A line has slope –5/3. Through which two points could this line pass? (1 point)

Answer 1

The possible answers are (12, 13), (17, 10) , (16, 15), (13, 10), (0, 7), (3, 10) & (11, 13), (8, 18) I cant seem to get it right.

Answer 2

(12,13) (17,10) gets me -3/5 do i flip that to get -5/3?

Answer 3

The question doesn't provide you with enough info you have to test the possible answers by using the point slope folmula y-y1=(-5/3)(x-x1).

Answer 4

rob is right i dont see how you can get you answer just with that information, you at least need a y intercept

Answer 5

here is the exact question : A line has slope –5/3. Through which two points could this line pass? (1 point)
(12, 13), (17, 10)
(16, 15), (13, 10)
(0, 7), (3, 10)
(11, 13), (8, 18)

Answer 6

how can your points be positve if your rise is negative

Answer 7

Im not sure :P

Answer 8

so plug one point into the point slope form and the equation of the line then plug the x part from the other poin and see if the equation gives you the same y value.

Answer 9

like this y-12=(-5/3)(x-13) now solve y=(-5/3)x(-5*-13/3)+12 which is y=(-5/3)x+(101/3) now plug in the x from the second point...17 and see if it equals 10.

Answer 10

nope it equls 5. You see. do the same for the other 3 or until you get the right y.
