keep in mind rise over run. from 10, -1, go down 1 and 4 left. what is your coordinate?

The slope of a straight line :

m = ( y1 - y2 ) / ( x1 - x2 )

In this case:

x1 = 6 , x2 = 10

y1 = y , y2 = - 1

So:

m = ( y1 - y2 ) / ( x1 - x2 )

1 / 4 = [ y - ( - 1 ) ] / ( 6 - 10 )

1 / 4 = ( y + 1 ) / ( - 4 )

Multiply both sides by - 4

( 1 / 4 ) ∙ ( - 4 ) = y + 1

- 1 = y + 1

Subtract 1 to both sides

- 1 - 1 = y + 1 - 1

- 2 = y

y = - 2

Ansver B

The answer is NEGATIVE 2 because if you look at the points (6, y) and (10, -1) if its rise overrun then the answer is B.

Remember if it's a negative 1 and its rise overrun then the answer flips to a negative 2. Hope this helped.
