Q. A line with a slope of 2 passes through the points (0,g) and (−6,−6). What is the value of g?
Slope Formula Calculation: We know the slope formula is (y2−y1)/(x2−x1). We can use the points (0,g) as (x1,y1) and (−6,−6) as (x2,y2) to find the value of g.Slope = (y2−y1)/(x2−x1)2=(−6−g)/(−6−0)
Solving for g: Now we solve for g by multiplying both sides of the equation by −6 to get rid of the denominator.2×−6=(−6−g)−12=−6−g
Isolating g: Next, we add 6 to both sides of the equation to isolate g on one side.−12+6=−6−g+6−6=−g
Final Solution for g: Finally, we multiply both sides by −1 to solve for g.−1×−6=g6=g
