Question

Find the missing value so that the line passing through the points has the given slope.

(7, 1) and (x, 4); m= 3/4

Answer 1

x = 11

Explanation:

(
`x_(1)` ,
`y_(1)` )

(
`x_(2)` ,
`y_(2)` )

m =
`(y_(2) -y_(1) )/(x_(2) -x_(1) )`

~~~~~~~~~

(7, 1)

(x, 4)

m =
`(3)/(4)`

`(4-1)/(x-7)` =
`(3)/(4)`

x - 7 = 4

x = 11
