Question

Find the value of y so that the line passing through (6, y) and (7, 5) has a slope of -3.

Answer 1

Well we know slope is

\[\large \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

You have your points...
(6 , y) (x1 , y1)
and
(7 , 5) (x2 , y2)

So

\[\large \frac{5 - y}{7 - 6}\]
\[\large \frac{5 - y}{1}\]

What does y have to be for this to = -3 ?

@Autobee7128

If you see that last fraction I came down to...

\[\large \frac{5 - y}{1} = -3\]

We know that anything divided by 1 is that number...so we dont even need that

\[\large 5 - y = -3\]

What does y equal?
