Answer:

The missing ordinate is 5

Explanation:

Given the coordinate points P(3, 2) and Q(8, _)

and also the slope
m=(3)/(5)

we have to find the missing coordinate by using slope formula.

Let the missing ordinate be x


\text{The slope of line joining the points }(x_1,y_1)\text{ and }(x_2, y_2)\text{ is given by}


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


(3)/(5)=(x-2)/(8-3)


(3)/(5)=(x-2)/(5)


x-2=3


x=2+3=5

Hence the missing ordinate is 5
