Question

The points ( 2,4) and (5,y) lie on the same line. If the slope of the line is -IA, what is the value of y

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct question

The points ( 2,4) and (5,y) lie on the same line. If the slope of the line is --1, what is the value of y

The formula for calculating slope of a line is expressed as;

m = y2-y1/x2-x1

Substitute the given point

y - 4/5-2 = -1

y-4/3 = -1

y-4 = -3

y = -3+4

y = 1

Hence the value of y is 1
