Question - Finding the Value of n to Form a Straight Line
Solution:
The question seems to be in reference to finding the value of $$n$$ so that the points mentioned form a straight line. The points given are (9, 18) and (4, $$n$$). To find the value of $$n$$, we can use the concept of slope, which should be consistent for all points on a straight line. The slope $$m$$ of a line passing through two points $$(x_1, y_1)$$ and $$(x_2, y_2)$$ is given by:\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]If the points (9, 18) and (4, $$n$$) are on the same line, they must have the same slope. As we do not have another point to compare, let's assume that these two points should form a line with a slope that we can calculate. Using our known points:\[ m = \frac{18 - n}{9 - 4} \]\[ m = \frac{18 - n}{5} \]If you have another point or a given slope, you could solve for $$n$$ by setting up the equation with the slope (or the third point) given. However, without additional information, we cannot determine the specific value of $$n$$, because any point (4, $$n$$) will still form a line with the point (9, 18) regardless of the value of $$n$$, just that the slope will be different.So with only the information provided in the image, we cannot find a specific value for $$n$$. We would need the slope of the line or a third point to solve for $$n$$.
