could any one help I have tried but does not make sens to me thankyou

You already know the slope, you're just missing a y coordinate. so plug everything in and solve for that
1=(3-y)/(5-4)

Can you do it?
OpenStudy (jayden):
thank you for your help got sidetracked.

so its 1= 15-12-5y+4y
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1=(3-y)/1
1=3-y
-2=-y
2=y
OpenStudy (jayden):
y= -28
OpenStudy (jayden):
ow i see my mistake now thankyou for your help
OpenStudy (jayden):

What?
OpenStudy (jayden):
The question is
Find the value of x so that the line passing through (10, 5) and (x, 9) has a slope of -2.
OpenStudy (jayden):
-2=x-9/-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2=(9-5)/(x-10) and solve for x remember the slope formula up there it refers to 2 points
(x1,y1) (x2,y2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2=4/(x-10)
-2(x-10)=4
-2x+20=4
-2x=-16
x=8
