In a rectangular coordinate system, if a line passes through the points (-13,-18), (17,22) and (x,2) then what is the value of x?
Answer/Solution
2
Steps/Work
The slope of the line m is rise/run = 22-(-18) / 17-(-13) = 4/3
4/3 = 22-2 / 17-x
68-4x = 66-6
x = 2
The answer is B.
4/3 = 22-2 / 17-x
68-4x = 66-6
x = 2
The answer is B.
