Q. A line that includes the points (−7,g) and (−4,−3) has a slope of −3. What is the value of g?g = ____
Use Slope Formula: We are given two points: (−7,g) and (−4,−3), and the slope of the line is −3. We will use the slope formula to find the value of g.Slope m = x2−x1y2−y1−3 = −4−(−7)−3−g
Simplify Denominator: Simplify the denominator of the slope equation.−3=−4+7−3−g−3=3−3−g
Isolate Term with g: Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate the term with g.−3×3=3−3−g×3−9=−3−g
Add 3 to Both Sides: Add 3 to both sides of the equation to solve for g.−9+3=−3−g+3−6=−g
Multiply by −1: Multiply both sides by −1 to get the value of g.−6×−1=−g×−16=g
