Question

The points (7,d) and (3,
–
6) fall on a line with a slope of 0. What is the value of d

Answer 1

the value of d = -6

Thus, the second point is:

• (7, d) = (7, -6)

Explanation:

Given

• Point (7, d)

• Point (3, -6)

• The slope m = 0

Here:

• (x₁, y₁) = (7, d)

• (x₂, y₂) = (3, -6)

• m = 0

Using the formula

Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

substitute (x₁, y₁) = (2, 3)

, (x₂, y₂) = (2, -5) and m = 0

0 = [-6 - d] / [3 - 7]

0 = [-6-d] / [-4]

0×(-4) = -6-d

0 = -6-d

d = -6

Therefore, the value of d = -6

Thus, the second point is:

• (7, d) = (7, -6)
