Q. A line with a slope of 8 passes through the points (3,g) and (2,−1). What is the value of g?g=___
Identify Formula for Slope: Identify the formula for the slope between two points.The slope formula is (y2−y1)/(x2−x1). Here, (x1,y1)=(3,g) and (x2,y2)=(2,−1).
Substitute Known Values: Substitute the known values into the slope formula.Slope = 8=2−3−1−g
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation. 8=−1(−1−g)
Solve for g: Solve for g.8=1+gg=8−1g=7
