Question

Give  me two points that has a slope of 5.

Answer 1

Hi Briana;

Slope is change-of-y divided by change-of-x...

m=(y-y₁)/(x-x₁)

m=(25-0)/(0--5)

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number...

m=(25-0)/(0+5)

m=25/5

m=5

The two suggested points are...

(25,0) and (0,5)

Answer 2

(a,b) and (a+c,b+5c)

 

Pick ANY point (a,b) and ANY constant c, then create the second point with (a+c,b+5c).

 

slope = (b+5c - b)/(a+c-a) = 5
