The points (-11, r) and (-6, 12) lie on a line with slope 2. Find the missing coordinater r.

Respuesta :

Answer: r=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the given 2 points to find slope. Since we are given the slope, we can plug it into the formula and solve for r.

[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} } =2[/tex]                                        [plug in values]

[tex]\frac{12-r}{-6-(-11)} =2[/tex]                                   [combine like terms]

[tex]\frac{12-r}{5} =2[/tex]                                          [multiply both sides by 5]

[tex]12-r=10[/tex]                                      [subtract both sides by 12]

[tex]-r=-2[/tex]                                          [divide both sides by -1]

[tex]r=2[/tex]
