Q. A line with a slope of 9 passes through the points (2,v) and (3,1). What is the value of v?
Understand slope concept: Understand the concept of slope. The slope of a line is the ratio of the change in the y-coordinate to the change in the x-coordinate between two points on the line. The formula for slope (m) when given two points ((x1,y1) and (x2,y2)) is: m=x2−x1y2−y1
Apply slope formula: Apply the slope formula to the given points and slope.We know the slope m is 9, and we have the points (2,v) and (3,1). Let's plug these values into the slope formula:9=3−21−v
Solve for v: Solve for v.Now we need to solve the equation for v:9=1−vTo isolate v, we'll add v to both sides and subtract 9 from both sides:9+v=1v=1−9v=−8
