A line with slope -1/2 passes through point Q (6, 7). Does point S (2, 5) lie on the same line? Without graphing, explain how you found your answer.

Respuesta :

If the slope of the two points is -1/2 then it lies on the line

Slope change in y/ change in x

= (7-5)/(2-4) = 2/-4 = -1/2 so yes the point is on the line

The point S (2, 5) lies on the same line.

We have given that

A line with slope -1/2 passes through point Q (6, 7).

We have to determine that point S (2, 5) lies on the same line

If the slope of the two points is -1/2 then it lies on the line

What is the slope?

m=Slope change in y/ change in x

Where m is the slope and x, and y are the coordinates of the given points.

So use the given value in the above formula

[tex]m= (7-5)/(2-4)\\m = 2/-4\\m = -1/2[/tex]

so yes the point is on the line.
