(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-14})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{h}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{28}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{28}-\stackrel{y1}{(-14)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{h}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}} \implies \cfrac{28 +14}{h +2}~~ = ~~\text{\LARGE 6}\implies \cfrac{42}{h+2}=6 \\\\\\ 42=6h+12\implies 30=6h\implies \cfrac{30}{6}=h\implies \boxed{5=h}
