The slope of a line passing through H (-2,5) is -3/4. Which ordered pair represents a point in this line

(6,-1)
(2,8)
(-5,1)
(1,1)

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer:

(6,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pair on the line will have the same slope. To find this, substitute the original point (-2,5) and each listed point into the slope formula. Simplify to  see if the slope is the same.

[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{-1 - 5}{6 --2} = \frac{-6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

The pair (2,8) gives a slope of 3/4.

The pair (-5,1) gives a slope of 4/3.

The pair (1,1) gives a slope of -4/3.

The solution is (6,-1).
