How many lattice points (points with integer coordinates) are on the line segment whose endpoints are (3,17) and (82,150)? (Include both endpoints in your count.)
First, we must find the slope of the two points.
Since we have
150−1782−3=13379
This means for every 133 latice points to the right of 3, you move up 79.
However, note that when we add 133 to 17, we get 133+17=150
This means there are no lattice points between (3,17),(82,150)
So 2 is our answer.
Thanks! :)
