Question
Find a number $t$ such that the point $\left(t, \frac{t}{2}\right)$ is on the line containing the points (2,-4) and (-3,-11).
Step 1
The slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). So, in this case, the slope is (-11 - (-4)) / (-3 - 2) = (-7) / (-5) = 7/5. Show more…
