Find the value of y so that the line passing through the two points has a given slope
\n" ); document.write( "(2,y)(11,8)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You didn't state what the \"given slope\" was...
\n" ); document.write( "But, let's call it m
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "m = (8 - y)/(11 - 2)
\n" ); document.write( "m(11 - 2) = (8 - y)
\n" ); document.write( "9m = 8 - y
\n" ); document.write( "-9m = -8 + y
\n" ); document.write( "8-9m = y
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, plug in the \"given slope\" (m) above, and you'll find y\r
