Answer:

r = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a slope:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We have the slope m = 3/4 and the points (r, 4) and (7, 1). Substitute:

[tex]\dfrac{1-4}{7-r}=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]dfrac{-3}{7-r}=\dfrac{3}{4}[/tex]         cross multiply

[tex]3(7-r)=(-3)(4)[/tex]        divide both sides by 3

[tex]7-r=-4[/tex]        subtract 7 from both sides

[tex]-r=-11[/tex]           change the signs

[tex]\boxed{r=11}[/tex]
