<PRE><B>Question 67464</B>
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
:
{{{((4-y))/((2-1))}}} = 1
:
{{{((4-y))/((1))}}} = 1
:
you should be able to solve for y now:
