Question

Given the slope of the line containing the points (7 , b) and (-2 , 5) is 4/9, find the value of b​

Answer 1

Answer: b=9

Step-by-step explanation: To find the slope we use: y2-y1/x2-x1

Which would then be: 5-b/-2-7= 5-b/-9

Then we have to find a number for b that would give us -4 as the numerator. That number would be 9

This would give us 4/9 which is the slope we already had.
