Question

Find the missing value so that the line passing through the points has the given slope

(10,y) and (3,4) m= -2/7

Answer 1

y = 2

Explanation:

Using slope formula and solving for y

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

-2/7 = (4 - y)/(3 - 10)

-2/7 = (4 - y)/-7

2 = 4 - y

y = 4 - 2

y = 2

Answer 2

• y = 2

Explanation:

Using slope formula and solving for y

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

• -2/7 = (4 - y)/(3 - 10)
• -2/7 = (4 - y)/-7
• 2 = 4 - y
• y = 4 - 2
• y = 2
