Points M(2, 3) and N(x,-6) lie on the same line. The line also passes through the origin.
A. For a line passing through the origin, what do you
notice about measuring rise over run from the origin
to another point on the line?
M(2,3)
B. Find the rise over run from the origin to Point M.

ING, 6)
runs
C. The rise-over-run ratio, or slope, of any line is constant. Use this
ratio to write an equation that can help you find the x-coordinate of
Point N.
