Question

A line contains (9, y) and (-6, 3). It has a slope  of 2/3. find y.

myininaya · Answer

$$\frac{3-y}{-6-9}=\frac{2}{3}$$

anonymous · Answer

y = mx + b
y = 2/3x + b
3 = (2/3)(-6) + b
b = 7
y =(2/3)x + 7
y = 13

myininaya · Answer

-6-9=-15
multiply -15 on both sides

then subtract 3 on both sides

then multiply -1 on both sides
