Answer:

19.) r = -4 20.) r = 1

Explanation:

19.) Because we know the slope and have some points, we can use point-slope form to find the equation.

Point-slope form is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitute the numbers into the equation:

y - 3 = 7/6(x - 1)

y - 3 = 7/6x -7/6

y = 7/6x + 11/6

Now that we know the equation, we can put in the x value to find the y (In this case, y = r):

r = 7/6(-5) + 11/6

r = -35/6 + 11/6

r = -4

20.) Because the slope is undefined, that means on the graph, the line will appear straight and vertical. This means the equation will be something like x = a number.

We have the point (1,4). Since we know that the x value will never change, we know that r will have to equal 1 as well.

r = 1
