Answer:

n= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the equation of line which passes through (6,3) and (8,4).

Then we have to pass this line through the point (n , -2).

we know, equation of line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

\frac{x-x1}{x1-x2}=\frac{y-y1}{y1-y2}

So, the equation of line passing through (6,3) and (8,4) is

\frac{x-6}{6-8}=\frac{y-3}{3-4}

or, \frac{x-6}{-2} =\frac{y-3}{-1}

multiplying both sides by  -2

x-6=2(y-3)

or, x-6=2y-6

or, x-2y=6-6

or, x-2y=0


Now, we have to pass this line through  (n,-2)

So, using the point in the line, that is using  x=n  , y=-2

we get

n-2(-2)=0

or, n+4=0

or, n=-4

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line passes through

(6,3), (8,4), and (n,-2).

We have to find the value of n.

Let us name the points as A, B and C in that order

Slope of AB = slope of BC since all 3 points lie in the same line

To find slope of AB:

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (4-3)/(8-6) = 1/2

To find slope of BC:

Using the same formula slope = (-2-4)/(n-8) = -6/(n-8)

The two slopes are equal.

Hence 1/2 = -6/(n-8)

n-8 = -12

n = -4

Answer:

{- 2, - 4, - 6, - 8, - 10 }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x - 6 with domain { - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2 }

To obtain the range substitute the values of x from the domain into f(x)

f(- 2) = 2(- 2) - 6 = - 4 - 6 = - 10

f(- 1) = 2(- 1) - 6 = - 2 - 6 = - 8

f(0) = 2(0) - 6 = 0 - 6 = - 6

f(1) = 2(1) - 6 = 2 - 6 = - 4

f(2) = 2(2) - 6 = 4 - 6 = - 2

Range is { - 2, - 4, - 6, - 8, - 10 }
