Find the value of y so that the points (-2,5) and (8y) lie on a line with the slope -1/5​

Mathematics

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

        y2 - y1

m = ------------- ,     which here becomes

         x2 - x1

          y - 5          -1

m = -------------  = -----

        8 - (-2)          5

Solve this for x.  Cross multiplication yields:

5y - 25 = -1(10) = -10

Then 5y = 15, and y = 3

4 5/6 Hope this helps.

You have to find the common denominator for 1/3 & 4/8. & it’s 24. By doing that you have to multiply 3x8, when you do that you also have to multiply 1x 8 so you get 8/24 , same with 4/8 but with three so you get 12/24. Then add your answer 20/24, which equals out to 20/24 which reduces to 5/6. Add 5/6 to 2+2 and you’re left with 4 5/6. Hope this helps.
