Q. A line has a slope of 7 and includes the points (−2,2) and (−1,g). What is the value of g?g=___
Set up slope equation: Use the slope formula to set up the equation. Slope = (y2−y1)/(x2−x1). Here, slope = 7, (x1,y1)=(−2,2), and (x2,y2)=(−1,g).Calculation: 7=(g−2)/(−1+2)
Calculate slope: Simplify the denominator and solve for g.Calculation: 7=1g−27×1=g−2g=9
