You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1,y),(2,4),m=1 the directions say find the value of y so that the line passing through the two points has the given slope
:
Remember the slope formula: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x)
:
Assign the given coordinates as follows:
x1 = 1; y1 = y; x2 = 2; y2 = 4 and m = 1
:
%28%284-y%29%29%2F%28%282-1%29%29 = 1
:
%28%284-y%29%29%2F%28%281%29%29 = 1
:
you should be able to solve for y now:
