Question

Line A is 3/9. The point (10,y) also lies on line A. What does y stand for?

Answer 1

Line A is 3/9 ... ? Please clarify what you mean. "3/9" is not an appropriate designation for a line.

Answer 2

and what is the proper name for "rise/run?"

Answer 3

slope vertical change/ horizontal change

Answer 4

I'm still wondering where that "3/9" came from. This does not designate a point. The question states, "The point (10,y) also lies on the line." This says to me that "3/9", in a different format, represents a 2nd point on the line.

Answer 5

How about: "Point (3,9) lies on line A. Point (10,y) also lies on line A. What does y represent?
