Aline with a slope of -8 passes through the points (6,-1) and (w, 7). what is the value of w?

w = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

using the gradient formula for slope m

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (6, - 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (w, 7 )

m = = = - 8 ( cross- multiply )

- 8(w - 6) = 8

- 8w + 48 = 8 ( subtract 48 from both sides )

- 8w = - 40 ( divide both sides by - 8 )

w = 5

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
