Given points a(-4,1) and b(2,y), find the value of y such that m(a, b) = -1 is true

y = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula and equate to - 1

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, y)

m = = = - 1

Multiply both sides by 6

y - 1 = - 6 ( add 1 to both sides )

y = - 5

1/3

step-by-step explanation:

to find this, you can divide 12 by 4 which is 3 or you can multiply 4 until you reach 12 (4x3=12). both should give you 3, meaning theres three times less bananas than there are oranges.
