Answer: b. 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line passing through two points A(a,b) and B(c,d) is given by:_

[tex]m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}[/tex]

Let the missing coordinate of point R be y.

Then , the slope of the line passing through the points R(0,y) and (-4,2) will be :_

[tex]5=\dfrac{2-y}{-4-0}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5=\dfrac{2-y}{-4}\\\\\Rightarrow\ -4\times5=2-y\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=2+20=22[/tex]

Hence, the missing coordinate of point R is y= 22
