Question

HALP ME PLZ::: Find the value of k if it is known that the line y=kx+5 goes through point (−6, 14).

Answer 1

-7/6

Explanation:

You know that x = -6 and y = 14 so you can plug them into your equation like this:

12= k(-6) + 5

Then solve for k

12-5 = 7

k = -7/6

Answer 2

k = -3/2

Explanation:

Write the equation of the line.

Replace x and y with the x- and y-coordinates, respectively, of the point.

Solve for k.

y = kx + 5

Replace x with -6. Replace y with 14.

14 = k(-6) + 5

Solve for k.

14 = -6k + 5

9 = -6k

k = -9/6

k = -3/2
