the points (6, -3) and (11, -3) lie on a slope. Find the missing coordinate r.

No r appears in the problem. Review for accuracy.

Sure, here is a more professional version of my previous response: The slope formula is: ``` m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) ``` where m is the slope, y1 and x1 are the coordinates of the first point, and y2 and x2 are the coordinates of the second point. In this case, the two points are (6, -3) and (11, -3). The slope of the line is: ``` m = (-3 - (-3)) / (11 - 6) = 0 ``` Since the slope of the line is 0, we know that the line is horizontal. Therefore, the missing coordinate r must be equal to the y-coordinate of the first point, which is -3.

I agree with Mark. There is no "r" in the problem. The problem given has not been fully specified and cannot be answered as it is.

where m is the slope, y1 and x1 are the coordinates of the first point, and y2 and x2 are the coordinates of the second point.

In this case, the two points are (6, -3) and (11, -3). The slope of the line is:
