The value (y2) of r = 1/2.

This question relates to equation of a straight line but we are looking for the slope in this case.

<h3>Slope</h3>

This is the ratio to which we measure the change along the y-axis to the change along the x-axis. The formula is given as

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Data given;

  • x1  = 3
  • x2 = -3
  • y1 = 5
  • y2 = r
  • m = 34 or 3/4

Substitute the values into the equation and solve for the unknown

NB; we are assuming that the slope here is 34 and not 3/4.

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \\34 = \frac{r - 5}{-3 - 3}\\34 = \frac{r - 5}{-6}\\

cross multiply both sides and make r the subject of formula

34 * -6 = r - 5\\-204 = r - 5\\r = -204+5\\r = -199

the value of r = -199.

This is not mathematically obtainable and we would use 3/4 as the value of slope

\frac{3}{4}= \frac{r - 5}{-3 - 3}\\\frac{3}{4}=\frac{r - 5}{-6}\\4(r-5) = 3 * -6\\4r- 20 = -18\\4r = -18 +20\\4r = 2\\r = \frac{1}{2}

The most logical value of r = 1/2
