The equation of the linear function that passes through (7,5) with a slope of 3 is f(x) = 3x Ð 16. This function can be written as a set of parametric equations É
x = t
y = 3t Ð 16
where 0 < t < 10.
As you can see in this drawing, the set of parametric equations above creates a segment that has a slope of 3 and passes through (7,5).
