Question

Find y (2,3) (5,y) has a slope of -2

Answer 1

Answer: Your Yag

Explanation:

Answer 2

Slope formula(m):

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

To find y, plug in what you know:

m = -2

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 3)

(x₂, y₂) = (5, y)

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`-2=(y-3)/(5-2)` Now isolate/get y by itself in the equation

`-2=(y-3)/(3)` Multiply 3 on both sides

`-2(3)=(y-3)/(3)(3)`

-6 = y - 3 Add 3 on both sides

-3 = y

PROOF

`-2=(-3-3)/(5-2)`

`-2=(-6)/(3)`

-2 = -2
