<PRE><B>Question 825374</B>
find the value of y so that the line goes the through the points (-2,y) and 
(4,-5) and has a slope of -7/6.
----
Since slope = -7/6, y increases by 7 when x decreases by 6.
Since the line passes thru (4,-5) it must pass thru (4-6,-5+7) = (-2,2)
-----
Answer: y = 2
