Hello!

[tex]\large\boxed{t = -8}[/tex]

We can find the value of t using the slope formula:

[tex]slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}[/tex]

Plug in the given slope and coordinates into the appropriate places:

[tex]5 = \frac{2-t}{3-1}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]5 = \frac{2-t}{2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2 to begin isolating for t. Simplify and solve for t:

[tex]5 * 2 = 2 - t\\\\10 = 2 - t\\\\8 = -t\\\\t = 8[/tex]
