in a graph with the points (-5,10) (3,y) and the slope=-(3/8) I need to solve for y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "slope, given two points:
\n" ); document.write( "m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The problem gives us:
\n" ); document.write( "m = -3/8
\n" ); document.write( "(x1,y1) as (-5,10)
\n" ); document.write( "(x2,y2) as (3,y)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Plug the given info into:
\n" ); document.write( "m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "we get
\n" ); document.write( "-3/8 = (y - 10)/(3 - (-5))
\n" ); document.write( "-3/8 = (y - 10)/(3 + 5)
\n" ); document.write( "-3/8 = (y - 10)/8
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying both sides by 8:
\n" ); document.write( "-3 = y - 10
\n" ); document.write( "7 = y\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
