Q. The points (−5,3) and (−4,p) fall on a line with a slope of −9. What is the value of p?p=___
Identify Given Points and Slope: Step 1: Identify the given points and slope.Points: (−5,3) and (−4,p)Slope: −9Use the slope formula: Slope =x2−x1y2−y1−9=−4+5p−3
Simplify the Equation: Step 2: Simplify the equation.−9=1p−3−9=p−3
Solve for p: Step 3: Solve for p.−9+3=pp=−6
