Answer:

h = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of h use the formula for finding the slope of a line

That's

[tex]m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} [/tex]

Where ( x1, y1) and (x2 ,y2) are the points

From the question

slope = - 3

The points are [4,-9] and [-3,h]

Substitute these values into the equation

We have

[tex] - 3 = \frac{h + 9}{ - 3 - 4} [/tex]

[tex] - 3 = \frac{h + 9}{ - 7} [/tex]

Cross multiply

That's

- 3(-7) = h + 9

21 = h + 9

h = 21 - 9

We have the final answer as

h = 12

Hope this helps you
