Q. The points (9,g) and (8,−3) 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 the slope.We have the points (9,g) and (8,−3) and the slope of the line is 10.We will use the slope formula which is (y2−y1)/(x2−x1)=slope.
Plug Values into Formula: Plug the values into the slope formula.Using the points (9,g) as (x2,y2) and (8,−3) as (x1,y1), we get:10=9−8g−(−3)
Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation. 10=1(g+3)
Isolate Variable: Multiply both sides by 1 to isolate g. 10×1=(g+3)10=g+3
Solve for g: Solve for g.Subtract 3 from both sides to find the value of g.10−3=g7=g
