Question

The slope of the line that passes through the points (6, w) and (10, 4) is 8. What is the value of w?

Answer 1

My student the slope paserea the Pointe 6w and 10,4 is8

Answer 2

w= -28

To find slope, you would use the equation
y-y1/x-x1

So: 4-w/10-4

We know it must equal 8 so let’s set is equal to 8 and solve :D

4-w/10-6=8

4-w/4=8

4-w=32

-w=28

w=-28
