Math challenge II geometry 3.18
Hi, I have a question about 3.18.
The line given by x−42=y−513x−42=y−513 goes through points A=(4,5)A=(4,5) and BB. What is yByB?
This question is ambiguous. Since it's a linear function, then there are infinite other possible points. B could be anything on this line. There is no x or y coordinates given for B so B could by anything on the line
Re: Math challenge II geometry 3.18
You are right, the question is not given correctly. For the point $B$, the intended coordinates are $(2, y_B)$ , and we want to find out $y_B$.
Here is the corrected question:
The line given by $\displaystyle \frac{x - 4}{2} = \frac{y - 5}{13}$ goes through point $B = (2, y_B)$. What is $y_B$?
