Veronica's teacher gave her two equations, the first with the coefficients of both variables missing, as follows:

Veronica was challenged to write one number in each shape in order to form an equation whose line has the same slope as that of the second equation. The only restriction was that she could not write a 5 in the square or a 3 in the circle.

Did Veronica write an equation with the correct slope?

Statement 1: Veronica wrote a negative integer in the square and a positive integer in the circle.

Statement 2: Veronica wrote an 8 in the circle.
