Question

2. The line that passes through the points (-6, p)

Answer 1

Answer: -26=p


Explanation: The slope formula is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1).

Thus, we have 6=(2-p)/(-10-(-6)).

Combining the xs gives us 6=(2-p)/-4.

Multiplying both sides by -4 leaves us with -24=2-p.

We do -24-2 to isolate p and find that p=-26.
