Question

A line has a slope of 8 and includes the points (-2,-2) and (n,6). What is the value of n ? n

Answer 1

n = -1

Explanation:

first, start by creating a formula for the slope and point. Lets use point slope form.

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

y + 2 = 8(x + 2)

then plu in n and 6

6 + 2 = 8 (n + 2)

1 = n + 2

-1 = n
