Hint: The slope of any two points on a given line will be the same. Also to find the slope: \(\sf\Large Slope = \frac{\color{blue}{y_2}-\color{red}{y_1}}{\color{green}{x_2}-\color{purple}{x_1}}\) Where the two points are in the form: \(\sf\Large (\color{purple}{x_1},\color{red}{y_1})~and~(\color{green}{x_2},\color{blue}{y_2})\)

im not sure about this one...

OpenStudy (freckles):

choose any 2 points on the line doesn't matter which can you tell me just two points on that line?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Do you see that the line goes the the point (0,0) ? That is the point where the x and y axes intersect.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

yes...

OpenStudy (welshfella):

Ok Now look at the top right. Where y = 4 what is the corresponding value of x? |dw:1469559204106:dw|

OpenStudy (welshfella):

|dw:1469559285194:dw|

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the coordinates of the point P will be (x , 4) The value of x is where the arrow points to.

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

ok...

OpenStudy (welshfella):

what is that value ?

OpenStudy (volleyballlover55):

um, 4?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

No the 4 is on the vertical axis . The x values are on the horizontal x axis
