Where are the choices to the problem??
y= mx+b
(16, -7) = (x,y)
2(16) - 3y = 12
32 - 3y = 12
32 - 12 = 3y
20/3 = y
6.6 = y
2x-3(-7) = 12
2x+21 = 12
2x = 12 - 21
x = -9/2
Insert the values into y = mx + b
solve for m and then solve for b
Answer:
f = -10
( -3, -4) ( - 4 , -10)
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for slope
m =( y_2 - y_1)/(x _2 - x _1)
m = 6
6 = (y_2 - y_1) / (x _2 - x_1)
Substitute the points
( -3 , -4) ( -4 , f)
x_1 = -3
y_1 = -4
x_2 = -4
y_2 = f
Insert the values into
6 = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1)
6 = (f - (-4))/ ( -4 - (-3)
6 = ( f + 4)/ ( -4 + 3)
Cross multiply
6 ( -4 + 3) = f + 4
6 ( -1) = f + 4
-6 = f + 4
-6 - 4 = f
f = -6 - 4
f = -10
( -3 , -4) ( -3 , f)
The value of f is -10
( -3 , -4) ( -3 , -10)
