Question

Find the missing value given the points and slope.(x,1) and(4,6) m=−5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is the ratio y change/ x change.

it is -5 here, that means -5/1.

we see in the points that y changes +5 units (from 1 to 6). so, to get a negative slope, the x change must be negative then (and must be -1, so that we still get the slope of -5/1).

in order for the x change to be -1 when going from point 1 to point 2, the starting x of point 1 must be 4 + 1 = 5.

so, point 1 is (5, 1).

point 2 is a indicated (4, 6).

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5
