In the xy-plane, does the line...

What I am supposed to do?

Solve the equations given in statements and check if they fit into the line equation ? or take relationship of r & s from line equation and put them into statement to see if it fits?

Hi nchaswal, Your recent CAT scores show that you could certainly hit your score goal on Test Day (and with a Test in the latter half of July, you have 1.5 months of study time remaining, so you could certainly improve even more). I'd like to know a bit more about how you took these CATs: 1) Did yo...
