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
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.
