Question 1088689

Dear tutors help :

     The points (2,v) and (1,-6) fall on a line with a slope of 10. What is the value of v?


      v=

Thank You 
<pre>All you need to do is apply the slope formula: {{{matrix(1,3, m, "=", (y[1] - y[2])/(x[1] - x[2]))}}}
{{{(v - - 6)/(2 - 1) = 10}}} ------- Substituting {{{matrix(5,3, v, for, y[1], - 6, for, y[2], 2, for, x[1], 1, for, x[2], 10, for, m)}}}
{{{(v + 6)/1 = 10}}}
v + 6 = 10 ------- Cross-multiplying
{{{highlight_green(matrix(1,5, v, "=", "10 - 6,", or, 4))}}}
This is how SIMPLE this is. This is all you need to do to get your answer. Let no-one tell you otherwise!
