Question

A line that includes the point (-3,-4) and (-4,f ) has a slope of 6. What is the value of f?

Answer 1

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)
