  8. The slope is 3. Slope = change in y ÷ change in x. Bo's line has slope 3 and passes through (1, 2) and (7, y). Which equation can be solved to find y?

    • (y − 2) ÷ (1 − 7) = 3
    • (y − 2) ÷ (7 − 1) = 3
    • (y + 2) ÷ (7 + 1) = 3
    • (7 − 1) ÷ (y − 2) = 3
  9. The slope is 2. Slope = change in y ÷ change in x. Milo's line has slope 2 and passes through (2, 3) and (8, y). Which equation can be solved to find y?

    • (y − 3) ÷ (8 − 2) = 2
    • (y − 3) ÷ (2 − 8) = 2
    • (y + 3) ÷ (8 + 2) = 2
    • (8 − 2) ÷ (y − 3) = 2
  10. The slope is 4. Slope = change in y ÷ change in x. Zee's line has slope 4 and passes through (1, 3) and (4, y). Which equation can be solved to find y?

    • (y − 3) ÷ (4 − 1) = 4
    • (4 − 1) ÷ (y − 3) = 4
    • (y + 3) ÷ (4 + 1) = 4
    • (y − 3) ÷ (1 − 4) = 4
  11. The slope is 5. Slope = change in y ÷ change in x. Kira's line has slope 5 and passes through (4, 2) and (7, y). Which equation can be solved to find y?

    • (7 − 4) ÷ (y − 2) = 5
    • (y − 2) ÷ (7 − 4) = 5
    • (y − 2) ÷ (4 − 7) = 5
    • (y + 2) ÷ (7 + 4) = 5
