Question

Line k line n, m1=(8x+30), and m2= (4x). find the value of x

A) 15
B) 10
C) 5
D) 20

Answer 1

To find the value of x, set the slopes of the two lines equal to each other and solve the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, we need to set the two expressions for the slopes of lines k and n equal to each other:

m1 = m2

8x + 30 = 4x

Subtract 4x from both sides:

4x + 30 = 0

Subtract 30 from both sides:

4x = -30

Divide both sides by 4:

x = -30/4

Simplify:

x = -15/2

Therefore, the value of x is -15/2.
