Find y in the line through (4, y) and (7,2) has a slope of 6

The value of y is - 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing coordinate, we can use the slope equation and plug in all known values.

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

6 = (y - 2) / (4 - 7)

6 = (y - 2) / -3

Now we can solve using cross multiplication.

y - 2 = - 3*6

y - 2 = - 18

y = - 16
