Q. The points (−3,1) and (1,k) fall on a line with a slope of 1. What is the value of k?k=___
Calculate slope formula: Calculate the slope using the formula for slope between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2): x2−x1y2−y1. Here, x1=−3, y1=1, x2=1, and y2=k.
Simplify denominator and solve: Simplify the denominator and solve for k.
Isolate k−1: Multiply both sides by 4 to isolate k−1.
Add 1 to solve for k: Add 1 to both sides to solve for k.
