Answer:

The missing co-ordinate is: (-1,[tex]$ \frac{31}{3} $[/tex]).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the slope of a line and a point on it, we determine the equation of the line by slope - one point form.

Slope - one point form: (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)

Where, (x₁,y₁) is the point passing through the line.

Here the slope is [tex]$ \frac{-2}{3} $[/tex] and the point (x₁,y₁) = (4,7).

Therefore the equation would be:

y - 7 = [tex]$ \frac{-2}{3} $[/tex](x - 4)

⇒  3y - 21 = -2x + 8

⇒                       2x + 3y - 29 = 0       is the equation of the line.

Now it is given that (-1,y) also passes through the line, this point should satisfy the equation.

⇒ 2(-1) +3y = 29

⇒ 3y = 31  i.e., y = [tex]$ \frac{31}{3} $[/tex]

Therefore, the missing co-ordinate is:   (-1,[tex]$ \frac{31}{3} $[/tex]).
