The points (1, k) and (-6, 9) fall on a line with a slope of -2. What is the value of k?
k=

Sagot :

Answer:

k= -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for slope is rise over run which is also (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

with the given coordinate being (x,y)

So, we just plug the given values into the equation in order to solve for k.

(9-k)/(-6-1)= -2

First let's simplify the denominator:

(9-k)/(-7)= -2

then we get rid of the denominator by multiplying it on both sides:

(9-k)= (-7)*(-2)

(9-k) = 14

-k = 5

k=-5
