The slope of the line given is 1 because that is the coefficient in front of x. A slope is found by dividing the change in y by the change in x. Knowing this, we can set up an equation with the points given.

1 = (-2 - k)/(-7 +1)

Now we'll solve to find k.
Firstly we'll multiple both sides by (-7 + 1):

1(-7 + 1) = (-2 - k)/(-7 +1)(-7 + 1)
-7 = -2 - k

Now we'll add 2 to both sides:
-7 + 2 = -2 - k + 2
-5 = -k

Now to get k by itself we must divide by negative one on both sides: 
-5/(-1) = -k/(-1)
5 = k

Your answer is 5 = k

I really need help! Please, please, PLEASE do not give me a link.
MArishka [77]

Answer:

7 fiction and 23 non- fiction

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of non-fiction read was 5 less than 4 times the number of fiction books.

Assume fiction books are x.

An equation representing this would be:

x + (4x - 5) = 30

5x - 5 = 30

5x = 30 + 5

x = 35 / 5

x = 7 fiction books

Non-fiction books:

= 4x - 5

= 4 * 7 - 5

= 23 non - fiction books
