A line has a slope of – 6 and includes the points (4, – 4) and (t, – 10). What is the value of t?

Answer 1

t should be equal to 5. If you utilize point slope form (y-y1) = m(x-x1) and plug in your existing numbers you can solve it as follows:

(-4 - -10) = -6(4 - t)

6 = -6(4 - t)

* divide both sides by -6*

-1 = 4 - t

-5 = -t

5 = t
