Question

A line with a slope of 10 passes through the points (-6, -5) and (-5,n). What is the value of n ?

Answer 1

The slope of a line is the change in Y over the change in x.

Using the given information we would have:

(N - (-5)) / (-5 - (-6) = 10

Simplify to get:

(N +5) / (-5 + 6) = 10

Simplify more:

(N+5) / 1 = 10

Solve for n:

N = 5
