Answer:
The value of d is -3.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a line that includes the two points (-8, 9) and (-10, d) have a slope of 6. We want to determine the value of d.
Recall that the formula for slope is:
[tex]\displaystyle m = \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}[/tex]
We know that the slope is 6. Substitute:
[tex]\displaystyle (6) = \frac{(d) - (9) }{(-10) - (-8)}[/tex]
Solve for d:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 6 & = \frac{d - 9}{-10 + 8} \\ \\ 6 & = \frac{d - 9}{-2} \\ \\ -12 & = d - 9 \\ \\ d & = -3 \end{aligned}[/tex]
In conclusion, the value of d is -3.
