Q. The points (2,9) and (0,v) fall on a line with a slope of 9. What is the value of v?v = ____
Given Points and Slope: We are given two points on a line: (2,9) and (0,v). We are also given the slope of the line, which is 9. The slope formula is (y2−y1)/(x2−x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line. We can use this formula to find the value of v.
Plug in Values: Let's plug in the values into the slope formula. We have (x1,y1)=(2,9) and (x2,y2)=(0,v). The slope m is 9. So, according to the formula, we have:m=0−2v−9
Solve for v: Now, we can solve for v. Since the slope m is 9, we have:9=0−2v−9This simplifies to:9=−2v−9
Multiply by −2: To find v, we multiply both sides of the equation by −2:9×−2=(v−9)This gives us:−18=v−9
Add 9: Finally, we add 9 to both sides of the equation to solve for v:−18+9=vv=−9
