Answer:

-4

Explanation:

We have the coordinates (6, 3) and (8, 4), allowing us to calculate the slope (or gradient). To do this, you divide the change in y by the change in x, which is 1/2 which is a half.

The form of a linear equation is y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

We have the gradient, so we can put it in the equation:

y = x/2 + c

We can now substitute in a pair of our coordinates and rearrange to find the y-intercept.

3 = 6/2 + c

3 = 3 + c

c = 0

Therefore the equation for our line is y = x/2.

We can now put in the y coordinate we were given to work out the corresponding x coordinate:

-2 = x/2

x = -4

Therefore n is -4.
