Algebra.Com's Answer #130077 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If a line passes through the point (-1,3) and has a slop of 2. How do I find another point? \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "One way is to find the equation, then find any number of points. \n" ); document.write( "Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point (-1,3) \n" ); document.write( "y-3 = 2*(x+1) = 2x+2 \n" ); document.write( "y = 2x + 5 \n" ); document.write( "Then insert a value for x and find y \n" ); document.write( "eg, x=0, y=5 --> (0,5) \n" ); document.write( "x= 1/3, y = 17/3 --> (1/3,17/3) \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Another way is to add/subtract 2 to y for each 1 to x. \n" ); document.write( "Points = (-1+2q,3+q) for any value of q\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
