Question

Use the slope formula to find the missing coordinate: R(0,_), S(-4,2) m=5

Answer 1

Answer

The missing value is 22

step-by-step explanation

The slope formula is

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

From the question,

m=5

$x_2=-4$

$y_2=2$

and

$x_1=0$

We substitute these values to get,

$5= \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4- 0}$

Simplify

$5= \frac{2 - y_1}{ - 4}$

$5 \times - 4=2 - y_1$

$- 20=2 - y_1$

$- 20 - 2=- y_1$

$22= y_1$

$y_1 = 22$

The missing value is 22
