Question

Please help :(
The slope of line JD is 1/4, J has coordinates (10, -4), and D has coordinates (6, y). What is the value for y?

Answer 1

m = Δy/ Δx
( y + 4) / ( 6 - 10 ) = 1/4
=> y = ...?

Can you fill in the blank

Answer 2

well, i got as far as to:
y + 4 / -4 = 1/4 but I'm not positive what to do after that.

Answer 3

-> y + 4 = -1
Can you finish it now?

Answer 4

how'd you get that?

Answer 5

-4/4 = -1

Answer 6

and how'd you get that?

Answer 7

like what exactly do I have to do from:
y-4/-4 = 1/4?

Answer 8

oh, so y would be -5?

Answer 9

wouldn't it be y +4 = -1?

Answer 10

Yep, x = -5 !
