Geometry project help?
I am doing a project for geometry where I need to find my way through a maze using certain slopes. I need to find a point along the slope 3/2 from (7.75,-8.5) with the x coordinate of 10. What is it?

Answer: Desired point is (10, 11.875) per attached calculations
Slope = rise / run or Slope (y2-y1) / (x2 - x1)
Substitute the numbers provided (i.e.: slope = 3/2, x1 = 7.75, x2 = 10, y1 = 8.5)
3/2 = (y2 - 8.5) / (10 - 7.75) = (y2 - 8.5) / 2.25 ----->
3/2(2.25) = y2 - 8.5 ----->
y2 = 3.375 + 8.5 = 11.875
So, the desired point is (10, y2) or (10, 11.875)
Note slope = (11.875 - 8.5) / (10 - 7.75) = 3.375 / 2.25 = 1.5 = 3/2
Good luck getting through the maze
