A line passes through the point (–7, 5) and has a slope of 1/2. Which is another point that the line passes through?
a.(–13, 9)
b.(–9, 13)
c.(9, 13)
d.(13, 9)
If the line has a slope of 1/2 then equation is y=1/2x+b If the line pass through the point (-7;5) then 5=1/2*(-7)+b b=5+7/2 b=8.5 y=1/2x+17/2 Let's find which is another point that the line passes through: a)9=-13*1/2+17/2=4/2=2 9≠2 b)13=-9*1/2+17/2=8/2=4 13≠4 c) 13=9*1/2+17/2=26/2=13 13=13 d) 9=13*1/2+17/2=30/2=15 13≠15 the line passes through c.(9, 13)
