Q. The points (−5,8) and (−6,q) fall on a line with a slope of 5. What is the value of q?q=___
Calculate slope formula: Calculate the slope using the formula for slope between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2): slope=x2−x1y2−y1. Here, x1=−5, y1=8, x2=−6, and y2=q.
Set equal and solve: Set the calculated slope equal to the given slope of 5 and solve for q.
