Question

Find the missing value so that the two points have a slope 1/2 (7, 2 )and (3,y)

Answer 1

(7,2) , (3,0) 7-3=4 as denominator, and 2-0=2 as the numerator equaling 2/4 which is 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

The missing y -coordinate is 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we know the slope but must find the y-coefficient of one of the points.

                                                         y - 2

The slope is m = 1/2 = rise / run = ----------

                                                         3 - 7

                y - 2

or   1/2 = ----------           which simplifies to   -2 = y - 2, which yields y = 0.

                   -4

The missing y -coordinate is 0.
