Question

Point A (-6, 2) and B (4, k) lie on a line that has a slope of 3/5 Determine the value of K

Answer 1

k=8

Explanation:

We can solve using the slope formula

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

3/5 = (k-2)/(4- -6)

3/5 = (k-2)/(4+6)

3/5 = (k-2)/10

Multiply each side by 10

10*3/5 = (k-2)/10 *10

6 = k-2

Add 2 to each side

6+2 = k-2+2

8 = k
