The pair of points (6, y) and (10, - 1) on a line with slope 1/4 What is the value of y? 1 point ) 2 5

Answer 1

To find the value of y, we first need to find the equation of the line using the given information.

The slope of the line is 1/4, so we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

Let's use the point (6, y) as the point on the line:

y - y1 = (1/4)(x - x1)

Substituting in the values of (6, y):

y - y = (1/4)(6 - 10)
0 = (1/4)(-4)
0 = -1

This equation is not possible, so there is no value of y that satisfies the given conditions.

Therefore, the value of y is not defined.
