Answer:
The value of n:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the line has slope 6.
i.e. m = 6
The line includes the points
Using the formula to find the slope of the points
[tex]\mathrm{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]\left(x_1,\:y_1\right)=\left(n,\:1\right),\:\left(x_2,\:y_2\right)=\left(8,\:5\right)[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{4}{8-n}[/tex]
as
m = 6
substituting m = 6
[tex]6=\frac{4}{8-n}[/tex]
[tex]6\left(8-n\right)=4[/tex]
Divide both sides by 6
[tex]\frac{6\left(8-n\right)}{6}=\frac{4}{6}[/tex]
[tex]8-n=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
subtract 8 from both sides
[tex]8-n-8=\frac{2}{3}-8[/tex]
simplify
[tex]-n=-\frac{22}{3}[/tex]
Divide both sides by -1
[tex]\frac{-n}{-1}=\frac{-\frac{22}{3}}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]n=\frac{22}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of n:
