Question 637305: What must be the next point to have a slope of 3/4 if the first point is (4,5)?
The answer was (0,2) & (8,8) but i don't understand how that became the answer. Help me please.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! What must be the next point to have a slope of 3/4 if the first point is (4,5)?
.
Remember, slope is rise/run
So, for a slope of
3/4
identical slope is also:
(-3)/(-4)
.
Considering 3/4 as the slope:
if you started at an arbitrary point (x,y)
the next point would be (x+4, y+3).
if you started at (4,5)
the next point would be:
(4+4,5+3)
(8,8)
.
Considering (-3)/(-4) as the slope:
if you started at an arbitrary point (x,y)
the next point would be (x-4, y-3).
So, given that (x,y) is (4,5)
the next point would be:
(4-4,5-3)
(0,2)
