Question

The points (6,y) and (7,9) fall on a line with a slope of 5. PLSSS HELPP Giving brainliest.

what is the value of y?

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line is:

• $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We are given the coordinate points (6, y) and (7, 9). Substitute these values into the equation, knowing that m = 5.

• $\displaystyle 5=\frac{9-y}{7-6}$
• $\displaystyle 5=\frac{9-y}{1}$

Multiply 1 to both sides of the equation.

• $5=9-y$

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation.

• $-4=-y$

Divide both sides of the equation by -1.

• $4=y$

The value of y is 4.
