Q. y+2=−3(x−4)Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation.(□,−2)
Substitute y=−2: To find the x-coordinate of the point where the line intersects with y=−2, we need to substitute y=−2 into the equation y+2=−3(x−4) and solve for x.
Simplify the equation: Substitute y=−2 into the equation: (−2)+2=−3(x−4).
Divide and solve for x: Simplify the left side of the equation: 0=−3(x−4).
Add to find x: Divide both sides by −3 to solve for x: 0=x−4.
Final x-coordinate: Add 4 to both sides to find the value of x: 4=x.
Final x-coordinate: Add 4 to both sides to find the value of x: 4=x.The x-coordinate of the point where the line intersects with y=−2 is 4. Therefore, the missing value in the solution to the equation is 4, and the complete point is (4,−2).
