Answer:
y = 12/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = (change in Y) / (change in x)
-1/7 = (y - 2) / (3 - 1)
-1/7 = (y - 2)/2
Cross multiply: -1(2) = 7(y - 2)
-2 = 7y -14
-2 + 14 = 7y
12 = 7y
12/7 = y
Let's find y
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{-1}{7}=\dfrac{y-2}{3-1}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{-1}{7}=\dfrac{y-2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto -2=7y-14[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 7y=12[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto y=12/7[/tex]
