Find the value of y so that the line passing through (2, 6) and (1, y) has a slope of 5. a) 5/29 b) 9 c) -1 d) 1

Slope formula is y2-y1/x2-x1.

So if i plugged the numbers in, you receive 

Simplified, this becomes 

To make the slope equal 5, the numerator y-6 has to = -5  since there is a -1 denominator. 

1-6 = -5 making the slope now, 
since both the numerator and denominator is negative, the whole fraction becomes positive. This makes the slope equal  or 5

The ANSWER IS D) 1

Sorry can't answer that question
