Thread: Find Coordinates of Point B

Line segment

AB has a slope of 3/4 . If the coordinates of point A are (2,5), the coordinates of point B could be?

Hey,

So the formula for slope is: (x2-x1)/(y2-y1). The first point is (2,5), thus the formula is (x2-2)/(y2-5), or x-2=3, y-5=4. I figure yodu can take it from there, or you can post if you need more help.

From your given tip, I can figure it out.

Thanks
