Q. The points (−5,7) and (−6,g) fall on a line with a slope of 10. What is the value of g?g=___
Identify Points and Slope: Identify the given points and slope.Points: (−5,7) and (−6,g)Slope: 10Use the slope formula: Slope=x2−x1y2−y110=−6+5g−7
Use Slope Formula: Simplify the equation.10=−1g−7Multiply both sides by −1 to isolate g−7.10×−1=−1g−7×−1−10=g−7
Simplify Equation: Solve for g.−10=g−7Add 7 to both sides.−10+7=g−3=g
