Q. A line has a slope of 10 and includes the points (2,−2) and (3,w). What is the value of w?w=___
Identify slope formula: Step 1: Identify the formula for the slope between two points.The slope formula is (y2−y1)/(x2−x1). Here, we know the slope is 10, and the points are (2,−2) and (3,w).
Substitute known values: Step 2: Substitute the known values into the slope formula.Using the points (2,−2) as (x1,y1) and (3,w) as (x2,y2), the formula becomes:(10=3−2w−(−2))
Simplify and solve: Step 3: Simplify and solve for w.10=w+2w=10−2w=8
