    1) slope and y intercept of b of line

    2y=3/5 (x+3)

    Write the eqn in y = mx + b form.

    2y=3/5 (x+3)

    y = {3/5 (x+3)}/2

    = (3/5)(1/2) (x+3)

    = 3/10 (x+3)

    = 3/10 x + 9/10

    slope = m = 3/10

    intercept = b = 9/10

    2)find the coordinates of the endpoint of the line segment with midpoint(3,5) and endpoint (7,11)

    slope = m = rise/run = (11-5)/(7-3) = 6/4

    In other words to get from (7,11) to (3,5) the segment had to 6 down and to the left 4. To find the other endpoint do the same.

    x-coordinate = 3-4 = -1

    y-coordinate = 5-6 = -1

    (-1,-1)
