Question

The line that passes through the points (-5,2) and (1,y) has a slope of 5/6. Find y.

Answer 1

the slope of the two coordinates must be equal to 5/6 therefore

\[\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1} = \frac{5}{6}\]

\[\frac{y-2}{1-(-5)} = \frac{5}{6}\]
\[\frac{y - 2}{6} = \frac{5}{6}\]

6 can be cancelled...

\[y - 2 = 5\]

gpt it?

Answer 2

yeahhh.
so y=7.

Answer 3

yup!

Answer 4

cool. thank yu =)

Answer 5

sorry for taking so long.

Answer 6

nahh no biggie ^_^
