Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the slope of a line passing through the points ( x ₁ , y₁) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) is ,
→ Slope ( m ) = ( y₂ - y₁) / ( x₂ - x ₁ )
- The points here are (-7,-3) and (-1,y) . Using formula of the slope , we have ,
→ m = -3 - y / -7 - (-1)
→ 1 = -(3+y)/ -7+1
→ 1 = -(3+y) / -6
→ 6 = 3 + y
→ y = 6 - 3
→ y = 3
Hence the value of y is 3 .
