Question

Error Analysis Denzel identified (3, 2) as a point on the line y - 2 = 2/3 (x + 3). What is the error that Denzel made?

Answer 1

Slope point formula:

y-y1= m (x-x1)

Where:

m= slope

(y1,x1) = point of the line

For:

y - 2 = 2/3 (x + 3)

m= 2/3

y1= 2

x1= -3

The error is that the point is not (3,2) is (-3,2)

y-2 = 2/3 (x-(-3))

y-2 = 2/3 (x+3)
