Q. The points (0,g) and (−1,8) fall on a line with a slope of −10. What is the value of g?g = ____
Identify Points and Slope: Identify the given points and the slope.We have the points (0,g) and (−1,8) and the slope m=−10.We will use the slope formula, which is m=x2−x1y2−y1, to find the value of g.
Plug Values into Formula: Plug the values into the slope formula.Using the slope formula with our given points and slope:−10=−1−08−g
Simplify Denominator: Simplify the denominator of the fraction on the right side of the equation. −10=−18−g
Isolate Term with g: Multiply both sides of the equation by −1 to isolate the term with g.−10×(−1)=(8−g)10=8−g
Solve for g: Solve for g by adding g to both sides and subtracting 10 from both sides.10+g=8g=8−10g=−2
