Okay A c t math drilling people Here we go

Another one for you of the line Why equals a
- 00:06
x plus three has a slope of one fourth Which
- 00:09
of the following points does the line passed through Usually

It must be halloween or something Because m looks awfully
- 00:25
like a today We're not fooled This isn't mission impossible
- 00:28
After all since the given equations basically in slope intercept
- 00:31
form we know our slope is a and a equals
- 00:35
one fourth right That happens to be the slope in
- 00:37
case anyone was wondering there We're looking for a point
- 00:40
on the line Why equals one fourth ax plus three
- 00:42
So let's give process of elimination a shot here Plug
- 00:45
the coordinates of each answer choice into the lines equation
- 00:48
And let's just check the result What We're feeling a
- 00:51
little unimaginative today So let's start with the first choice
- 00:53
of a there Well if we use x equals to
- 00:56
that gives us why equals one four times two plus
- 00:59
three which equals one half plus three Well that value
- 01:02
is most emphatically not three So to come of three
- 01:06
is not online A All right Next up Three come
- 01:10
of five All right let's see Be here Plug x
- 01:12
equals three into the given equation that gets us y
- 01:15
equals one fourth times three plus three So that's three
- 01:18
force plus three And once again that's why value doesn't
- 01:22
mention the y value of the answer choice So keep
- 01:25
going moving on to four four So we try x
- 01:27
equals four one four times for well that's one plus
- 01:30
three that gets us a force So he asked the
- 01:33
y value of four matches the answer choice So the
- 01:36
given line passes through the point four four and the
- 01:39
answer is c a cz in middle c Yeah that's 00:01:42.944 --> [endTime] what it sounds like
