Find the value of y if the line through the two given points is to have the indicated slope.

1 answer:

4 0

Slope is the change in y/ change in x so the equation will be:
-2= (1-y)/(-6-(-5)) -> simplify -> -2= 1-y/-1 -> multiply both sides by -1 -> 2=1-y -> simplify and -y= 1 -> y=-1

Can someone explain the steps to solve number two?

Vlada [557]

Ok so first you would create a proportion.
8/x=4/1. Next you cross multiply and divide,
1 • 8÷4=x. Ratios are fractions with the first number being the numerator and the second being the denominator. If you think of it this way, you just find an equivalent fraction. Your answer would be 8:2 because in your proportion x=2.
