Q. A line has a slope of 10 and includes the points (0,p) and (−1,−5). What is the value of p?p = ____
Identify Points and Slope: Identify the given points and the slope.Points: (0,p) and (−1,−5)Slope: 10Use the slope formula to set up the equation.Slope (m)=x2−x1y2−y110=0−(−1)p−(−5)
Set Up Equation: Simplify the equation.10=1p+5Multiply both sides by 1 to isolate (p+5).10×1=(p+5)
Simplify Equation: Solve for p.10=p+5Subtract 5 from both sides to find the value of p.10−5=pp=5
