Question

Find the missing value so that the line containing the two points will have the required slope.

(-12, 4) and (-17, y); m = 

Group of answer choices

Answer 1

(y-4)/-5 = 16/5 = slope

y-4= (16/5)(-5)

y-4= -16

y=-16+4=-12

(-12,4), (-17, -12) has a line through them with slope =

(-12-4)/(-17+12) = -16/-5= 16/5
