Q. The points (3,10) and (2,c) fall on a line with a slope of 6. What is the value of c?c = ____
Identify Given Points and Slope: Identify the given points and the slope.We have the points (3,10) and (2,c) and the slope of the line is 6.We will use the slope formula which is (y2−y1)/(x2−x1)=slope.
Plug Values into Formula: Plug the values into the slope formula.Using the points (3,10) and (2,c), we get:6=2−3c−10
Simplify Denominator: Simplify the denominator.Since 2−3 equals −1, we can rewrite the equation as:6=−1(c−10)
Multiply to Isolate Term: Multiply both sides by −1 to isolate the term with c.6×−1=−1c−10×−1−6=c−10
Solve for c: Solve for c by adding 10 to both sides of the equation.−6+10=c−10+104=c
