You were on the right track, rarinstraw [I gave you 5 pts].....
Note that rarinstraw was correct......the slope of QA = -4/5
So...the slope between A and Q = -4/5...and we need to solve this :
[-7 - y] / [8 - 3] = - 4/5 cross-multply
5[-7-y] = -4 [ 8 - 3] simplify
-35 - 5y = -4 [5]
-35 - 5y = -20 add 35 to both sides
-5y = 15 divide both sides by -5
y = -3 ...just as rarinstraw found ....!!!!
