Q. Homework 4/15−19Question 9 of 10 (1 point) | Question Attempt: 1 of 212=34×5×67IncorrectYour answer is incorrect.The points (−14,5) and (r,7) lie on a line with slope 41. Find the missing coordinate r.r=
Use slope formula: Use the slope formula: slope=x2−x1y2−y1. We know the slope is 41, y2=7, y1=5, x1=−14, and we need to find x2 which is r.
Plug in values: Plug in the known values into the slope formula: 41=r−(−14)7−5.
Simplify equation: Simplify the equation: 41=r+142.
Cross multiply: Cross multiply to solve for r: 1×(r+14)=4×2.
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication: r+14=8.
Subtract to solve: Subtract 14 from both sides to solve for r: r=8−14.
Calculate value: Calculate the value of r: r=−6.
