Q. The points (−8,6) and (−7,k) fall on a line with a slope of 2. What is the value of k?k=___
Calculate Slope Formula: Calculate the slope using the formula for slope between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2): x2−x1y2−y1. Here, x1=−8, y1=6, x2=−7, and y2=k.Slope formula: −7+8k−6
Simplify and Set Equal: Simplify the denominator and set the slope equal to 2. 1k−6=2
Solve for k: Solve for k by isolating k on one side of the equation. k−6=2k=2+6
Find k Value: Add the numbers to find k.k=8
