Question

Find the unknown coordinate so the line through the points (4,-3), (7,y) has a slope 2.

  1. 6
  2. -5
  3. 3
  4. -9

hintHint:

In the question we have to find y where slope is given and the coordinates are given So we will use the formula of finding the slope fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction.

The correct answer is: 3


    The slope of the line with coordinates(4,-3) and (7,y) = 2
    fraction numerator y subscript 2 minus y subscript 1 over denominator x subscript 2 minus x subscript 1 end fraction=2
    rightwards double arrow fraction numerator y minus left parenthesis negative 3 right parenthesis over denominator 7 minus 4 end fraction equals 2
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator y plus 3 over denominator 3 end fraction equals 2
rightwards double arrow y plus 3 equals 6
rightwards double arrow y equals 6 minus 3
rightwards double arrow y equals 3
