Q. The points (−8,−10) and (−9,n) fall on a line with a slope of −9. What is the value of n?n=___
Calculate Slope: Points: (−8,−10) and (−9,n)Slope: −9Use the slope formula to relate the points and the slope.Slope = x2−x1y2−y1−9=−9−(−8)n−(−10)
Simplify Equation:−9=−9−(−8)n−(−10)Simplify the right side of the equation.−9=−9+8n+10−9=−1n+10
Isolate n:−9=−1n+10Multiply both sides by −1 to isolate n+10.−9×−1=−1n+10×−19=n+10
Solve for n:9=n+10 Solve for n by subtracting 10 from both sides. 9−10=n+10−10−1=n
