You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope formula is
\n" ); document.write( "(i) \"m+=+%28y2-y1%29%2F%28x2-x1%29\"
\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) \"%283%2F4%29+=+%28y2-0%29%2F%285-%28-2%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "be careful about your signs.
\n" ); document.write( "simplifying (ii) we get
\n" ); document.write( "(iii) \"%283%2F4%29+=+%28Y2%2F7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply to get
\n" ); document.write( "(iv) \"21+=+4Y2\"
\n" ); document.write( "finally dividing, we get
\n" ); document.write( "\"Y2+=+21%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is the missing part.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
