A line of slope -3 passes through (r,3) and (5,r) Find the value of r.
 
done

never mind i figured it out..but i don't get this one; A line of slope 3/2 passes through (-1,2) and (s, s+1). What are the possible values of s?

1) Get rid of your signature.
2) What is the equation? y-2 = (3/2)(x+1)
3) Substitute: (s+1)-2 = (3/2)(s+1)
4) Solve for s.
