Algebra.Com's Answer #401557 by nerdybill(7384) 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)? \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Remember, slope is rise/run \n" ); document.write( "So, for a slope of \n" ); document.write( "3/4 \n" ); document.write( "identical slope is also: \n" ); document.write( "(-3)/(-4) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Considering 3/4 as the slope: \n" ); document.write( "if you started at an arbitrary point (x,y) \n" ); document.write( "the next point would be (x+4, y+3). \n" ); document.write( "if you started at (4,5) \n" ); document.write( "the next point would be: \n" ); document.write( "(4+4,5+3) \n" ); document.write( "(8,8) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Considering (-3)/(-4) as the slope: \n" ); document.write( "if you started at an arbitrary point (x,y) \n" ); document.write( "the next point would be (x-4, y-3). \n" ); document.write( "So, given that (x,y) is (4,5) \n" ); document.write( "the next point would be: \n" ); document.write( "(4-4,5-3) \n" ); document.write( "(0,2)\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
