Question

The coordinates below lie on the line with the given slope. find the missing coordinate value. (2,2) (5,y) slope = 2

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey there!

The given points are; (2,2) and (5,y).

Slope (m) =2

Using formula for slope, we get;

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

Put all values.

`2 = (y - 2)/(5 - 2)`

Simplify it to get value of"y".

`2 = (y - 2)/(3)`

`6 = y - 2`

`y = 6 + 2`

Therefore, y= 8.

Hope it helps...
