Algebra.Com's Answer #190022 by drk(1908) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The slope formula is \n" ); document.write( "(i) \n" ); document.write( "we are given \n" ); document.write( "m = 3/4 \n" ); document.write( "(x1,y1) = (-2,0) \n" ); document.write( "(x2,y2) = (5,?) \n" ); document.write( "we can put everything in except y2. From (i) we get \n" ); document.write( "(ii) \n" ); document.write( "be careful about your signs. \n" ); document.write( "simplifying (ii) we get \n" ); document.write( "(iii) \n" ); document.write( "cross multiply to get \n" ); document.write( "(iv) \n" ); document.write( "finally dividing, we get \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "This is the missing part. \n" ); document.write( " |
