Question

A line with a slope of -7 passes through the points (-8, 7) and (-7, k). What is the value of

K?

Answer 1

k = 0

Explanation:

We can find the answer to this question by using the slope equation:

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`

Let's define some variables:

`(k - 7)/(-7-(-8)) = (k-7)/(1) = k- 7`

We know the slope is -7 so we can put k-7 equal to it and solve

`k-7 = -7\\k = 0`

We find that k is equal to 0.

I hope this helps!!

Answer 2

k = 0

Explanation:

On the graph, the second point would be at (-7,0)
