Question

A line has a y-intercept of -6 and a slope of     . Which of the following points is located on the line?

anonymous · Answer

thats a real nice slope ya got there ;)

ddcamp · Answer

y = mx + b; m is the slope, b is the y intercept.
Plug in the x value for x and the y value for y.
If the point is on the line, both sides will be equal.

haha

anonymous · Answer

-6 and a slope of 3/5*

ddcamp · Answer

y = (3/5)x - 6

anonymous · Answer

so your formula is $y={3\over5}x-6$
plug in the points into the equation and see which set is true

anonymous · Answer

idk how to do it :/

ddcamp · Answer

You have some points (a,b), right?
See if:
b = (3/5)a - 6
is true.
