Question

Use the slope formula to find the missing coordinate: R(0,_), S(-4,2) m=5

Answer 1

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
