We can find the slope of the line using the formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
The change in x between the two points is 10 - 6 = 4.
And the change in y between the two points is y - (-1) = y + 1.
So the slope is:
slope = (y + 1) / 4
From the given information, we know that the slope is .
So we can set up the equation:
= (y + 1) / 4
To find the value of y, we can cross multiply and solve for y:
* 4 = y + 1
Simplifying the equation, we get:
4 = y + 1
Subtracting 1 from both sides, we get:
3 = y
Therefore, the value of y is 3, which corresponds to the point (6, 3).
