Answer

The missing value is 22

Explanation

The slope formula is


m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

From the question,

m=5


x_2=-4


y_2=2

and


x_1=0

We substitute these values to get,


5= (2 - y_1)/( - 4- 0)

Simplify


5= (2 - y_1)/( - 4)


5 * - 4=2 - y_1


- 20=2 - y_1


- 20 - 2=- y_1


22= y_1


y_1 = 22

The missing value is 22
