Question

A line that includes the points (0,w) and (–1,2) has a slope of 6. What is the value of w?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

$slope = \frac{w - 2}{0 - ( - 1)} \\ \\ \therefore \: 6 = \frac{w - 2}{0 + 1} \\ \\ \therefore \: 6 = \frac{w - 2}{1} \\ \\ \therefore \:w - 2 = 6 \\ \\ \therefore \:w = 6 + 2 \\ \\ \therefore \:w = 8$
