$\bf \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ 8}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad % (c,d) &({{ r}}\quad ,&{{ -6}}) \end{array} \\\\\\ % slope = m slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies \cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{-6-(-2)}{r-8}=-4 \\\\\\ \cfrac{-6+2}{r-8}=-4\implies -4=-4(r-8)\implies \cfrac{-4}{-4}=r-8\\\\\\ 1+8=r$
