Question

Find the Missing point, given the slope. (Hint: Set up an equation and solve) (-2, y^1), (6, 7) Slope = 1/2

Answer 1

(-2, y1), (6, 7) Slope = 1/2

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
1/2 = (7 - y1) / (6 - -2)
1/2 = (7-y1) / 8
7-y1 = 8/2
7-y1 = 4
y1 = 7 - 4
y1 = 3

Answer: (-2, 3), (6, 7) with Slope = 1/2

proof:
slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope = (7 - 3) / (6 - -2)
slope = 4/8
slope = 1/2
