Question

The points(1,r) and (5,-4) lie on a line with slope 5. find the missing coordinate r. ​

Answer 1

The value of r is -24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(1,r) and (5,-4)

Let the points be:

(x1,y1) = (1,r)

(x2,y2) = (5,-4)

m = 5

The slope is given by:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\5 = \frac{-4-r}{5-1}\\5 = \frac{-4-r}{4}\\5 * 4 = -4-r\\20 = -4-r\\20+4 = -4-r+4\\24 = -r\\r = -24$

Hence,

The value of r is -24
