Q. A line has a slope of −4 and includes the points (4,−6) and (2,h). What is the value of h?h = ____
Calculate Slope: Points: (4,−6) and (2,h)Slope: −4Use the slope formula to find the relationship between the points.Slope =x2−x1y2−y1−4=2−4h−(−6)
Simplify Equation: Simplify the right side of the equation.−4=(2−4)(h+6)−4=−2(h+6)
Isolate Variable: Multiply both sides by −2 to isolate h.−4×(−2)=−2h+6×(−2)8=h+6
Solve for h: Solve for h.8=h+68−6=h+6−62=h
