Question

Use the slope formula to find the missing coordinate. m = 2, A(_, 0), B(5, 10)

Answer 1

x is ).

Just use the slope formula and you get (10-0)=(5-x)
x has to be 0.

Answer 2

The missing coordinate is 0

Explanation:

Given the coordinates

A( , 0), B(5, 10)

and also the slope m=2

we have to find the missing x-coordinate

Let the missing coordinate is x

`\text{The slope of the line joining the points }(x_1,y_1)\text{ and }(x_2, y_2)\text{ is }`

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

`\text{The slope of the line joining the points }A(x,0)\text{ and }B(5, 10)\text{ is }`

`m=(10-0)/(5-x)`

`2=(10)/(5-x)`

`2(5-x)=10`

`10-2x=10`

`x=0`

Hence, the missing coordinate is 0
