If a line passes through (5,2) and has slope 2/3, then what is the value of y on this line when x = 8, x=11 and x = 12?
---------
1st: Find the equation of the line:
slope = 2/3
intercept = ?
2 = (2/3)*5 + b
b = 2 - (10/3) = -4/3
-------------------------
Equation : y = (2/3)x - (4/3)
---
2nd:what is the value of y on this line when x = 8, x=11 and x = 12?
If x = 8, y = (2/3)*8 - (4/3)
If x = 11,y = (2/3)11 - (4/3)
If x = 12,y = (2/3)12 - (4/3)

(8,4)
(11,6)
(12,6 2/3)
Remember the rise over the run.
Both are positive, so 3 right up 2, start from (5,2).
