Question

Find the missing coordinate given m = -5 and goes through the points (x, 3) and (5.-7).3

Answer 1

the slope is m = -5

and the two points are (x,3) & (5,-7)

now

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

put the values,

`\begin{gathered} -5=(-7-3)/(5-x) \\ 5-x=(-10)/(-5) \\ 5-x=2 \\ x=5-2 \\ x=3 \end{gathered}`

so the missing coordinate is at x =3

(3, 3)
