thanks!!

First we can write an equation. \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\) Where \(y_1\) is the y-value of the point, \(x_1\) is the x-value of the point, and \(m\) is the slope. \(y - 2 = \dfrac{3}{5}(x - 5)\) Distribute 3/5 into the equation: \(y - 2 = \dfrac{3}{5}x - 3\) Add 2 to both sides: \(y = \dfrac{3}{5}x - 1\) Okay, what are your choices? @cutegirl

Let's try (0, -1) \(y = \dfrac{3}{5}x - 1\) \(-1 = \dfrac{3}{5}(0) - 1\) Can you multiply \(\dfrac{3}{5} \times 0\)? @cutegirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dayum that's hard.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that gives us: \(-1 = 0 - 1\) Can you subtract 0 - 1?

OpenStudy (igreen):

@OpiGeode Ikr..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that gives us: \(-1 = -1\) Therefore, (0, -1) is a solution to our problem :)
