Answer:

y = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope, we use this expression: [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Since we already know the slope and are trying to figure out a y-value, we can input all of the values we do know in the expression and solve for the missing y.

[tex]\frac{y-1}{9-3}[/tex]=4

Simplify the denominator:  [tex]\frac{y-1}{6}[/tex]=4

Multiply both sides by 6 to isolate the y - 1:   y - 1 = 24

Add 1 to both sides to isolate the y:  y = 25

y = 25
