A line through points (-5, 2) and (2,Y) has a slope of 3. Find Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y would be 23

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-5,2) and (2,23)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you, but do you mind showing me the steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to find the slope between 2 points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Set it up, including the missing variable, and set it equal to 3. Then solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 3 - 2 over 2 - (-5) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-2 over 2+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then set it equal to 3 and solve..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(y-2)/7=3 multiply both sides by 7, then add 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I replace Y with 3, then I did that whole part. I got 1/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply both sides by 7
