Answer:

x = 11

Explanation:

Given that,

The slope of the line, m = 3/4

First point = (x,2)

Another point = (3,-4)

We need to find the value of x.

The slope of a line is given by the formula as follows :


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Put x₁ = x, y₁ = 2, x₂ = 3, y₂ =-4 and m = 3/4

Put all the values,


(3)/(4)=(-4-2)/(3-x)\\\\3(3-x)=4(-6)\\\\9-3x=-24\\\\9+24=3x\\\\33=3x\\\\x=11

So, the value of x is 11.
