Algebra.Com's Answer #225614 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's a straight line, so 2 points are needed. \n" ); document.write( "One is given, (4,1) \n" ); document.write( "A slope of 2/3 means that for 3 squares in the x direction, you move 2 squares in the y direction. \n" ); document.write( "Since it's +2/3, both moves are + or both minus. \n" ); document.write( "Start at (4,1). Add 2 to the y and 3 to the x --> (7,3) \n" ); document.write( "Add any multiples, eg (4+3n,1+2n) where n is any number, + or minus. \n" ); document.write( "--> (10,7), (1,-1), etc \n" ); document.write( "Pick 2 points, plot them draw a line thru them. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
