Question

The points (1,r) and (0,-6) fall on a line with a slope of

-4. What is the value of r?
r=

Answer 1

r=-10

Explanation:

slope =(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=-4

(-6-r)/(0-1)=-4

-6-r=4

r=-6-4=-10

Answer 2

Hey!

--------------------------------------------------

Steps To Solve:

Slope Formula:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

~Substitute with the coordinates given

`(-6 - r)/(0 - 1)`

~Simplify

`(-6 - r)/(-1)`

Now we can solve for r.

~Simplify the equation.

r + 6 = -4

~Subtract 6 to both sides

r + 6 - 6 = -4 - 6

~Simplify

r = -10

--------------------------------------------------

Hence, the value of r is
`\Large\boxed{\mathsf{-10}}`
