Question

Use an equation to find the value of k so that the line that passes through the given points has the given slope.

(−4,k), (6,−7); m=−1/5

Answer 1

Answer: look at the photo


The general equation of a line when two points are given

y1 - y2
---------- = m
x1 - x2

Plug the values
k - (-7)
---------- = - (⅕)
-4 -6

k + 7
-------- = -⅕
( -10 )

5k + 35 = 10
5k = -25
k = -5
