1. ## Really Confused

just really confused.

list three additional points on a line that has a slope of 3/2 and goes through (3,-1)

Thanks

There are a number of ways this can be done...

since the slope is defined as $m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$, and the slope given to us is $m=\frac{3}{2}$, we see that from a given point on the line, we can increase the y value by three and increase the x value by two.

So one additional point could be $(3+3,-1+3)=(6,2)$

Also, note that $\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-3}{-2}$

So we can subtract three from a y value of a point on the line, and subtract 2 from the x value of a point on the line.

So using the original point given to you, we see another possible point could be $(3-3,-1-2)=(0,-3)$

I leave it for you to find another possible point on the line.

I hope this makes sense!
