Q. A line that includes the points (−5,r) and (−4,8) has a slope of 6. What is the value of r?r = ____
Given Points and Slope: We are given two points: (−5,r) and (−4,8), and the slope of the line is 6. We will use the slope formula to find the value of r.Slope m = x2−x1y2−y16=−4−(−5)8−r
Calculate Slope: Now we simplify the denominator of the slope equation.6=−4+58−r6=18−r
Simplify Equation: Since the denominator is 1, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 1 to isolate the numerator.6×1=(8−r)×16=8−r
Isolate Numerator: Now we solve for r by moving the terms around.6=8−r6−8=−r−2=−r
Solve for r: To find r, we multiply both sides by −1.r=2
