Q. The points (−2,n) and (−1,−5) fall on a line with a slope of −4. What is the value of n?n=___
Identify Given Points and Slope: Identify the given points and slope.Points: (−2,n) and (−1,−5); Slope =−4.Use the slope formula: Slope =x2−x1y2−y1.−4=−1+2−5−n.
Use Slope Formula: Simplify the equation.−4=1−5−n.Multiply both sides by 1 to isolate the terms involving n.−4=−5−n.
Simplify Equation: Solve for n.−4+5=−n.1=−n.n=−1.
