You can put this solution on YOUR website! A linear graph is created to predict the path of a storm.
The line has a slope of -3/2. If one of the points on the line is (4,3) what is another point on the line.
----
What does a slope of -3/2 mean?
It means "when x increases by 2, y decreases by 3"
Also if x decreases by 2, y will increase by 3.
--------------------------------------------
Starting at the point (4,3)
Decrease x by 2; then y will increase by 3 to get (2,6)
Decrease x by 2 again; then y will increase by 3 to get (0,9)
