Question

Find the missing value so

that the two points have a
slope of 2/7.
(-1,-1) and (x,1)

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

Slope = (y(2) - y(1))/(x(2) - x(1))

(-1 - 1) / (-1 - x)

If the slope is 2/7, it would be (-2/-1-x, where x would have to be 6)

(-2)/(-7) = 2/7, so x = 6

Check:

(-1 - 1) / (-1 - 6)

(-2)/(-7)

2/7 (Correct :))

Hope it helps :D
