Answer:
v is -8
Step-by-step explanation:
The form of a straight line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).
We are given the slope, so let's write:
y = -(2/9)x + b
We can find b by using the one fully given point, (-4, -6).
y = -(2/9)x + b
-6 = -(2/9)(-4) + b
b = -6 - (8/9)
b = -(62/9)
Now we have y = -(2/9)x - (62/9)
We want the value of y when x is 5 to find v in (5,v):
y = -(2/9)x - (62/9)
y = -(2/9)(5) - (62/9)
y = -(10/9) - (62/9)
y = -(72/9)
y = -8
v is -8
