Aline that includes the points (6,h) and (7,−10) has a slope of −7. what is the value of h ?

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use to find the slope of a line going through and .

I like to line up the points and subtract vertically. Then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

(6,h)

minus

(7,-10)

------------

-1     h-(-10)

This also said to be equal to -7:

Multiply -1 on both sides:

Subtract 10 on both sides:

[texh=-3[/tex]

So if h=-3 then the slope of the line going through (6,h) and (7,-10) is -7.

Let's test it:

(6,-3)

minus

(7,-10)

----------

-1  7

So the slope is 7/-1=-7. This is the intended goal.

The check is good.

the answer is h= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

add 7 to -10 to find the value of h

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
