infinitely many equations

, remember any equations is defined by two points

here is only one point , you can give any other point as you like

and try to find the equation using \(m=\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}\)

and when you find m , try to find p , using either the first point or the point you guessed lol

(1, -7) is a solution of infinitely many equations.

Examples: \(y=\frac{x-15}{2}\\ y=\frac{2x-23}{3}\\ y=x^2-5x-2\\ y= (x-8)(x^2+8x+64)\)
