Answer: v = 16

Explanation:

A slope of ten means that for every +1 increase in the x-coordinate, the y-coordinate increases by +10. Using this information, we can solve for v.

We will add one to the x-value and add 10 to the y-value.

Given:

(7, 6), m = 10

Use the slope:

(7 + 1, 6 + 10) = (8, 16)

Answer:

v = 16
