Question

(6, -7) (x, 0) if m= -3 solve for x; Using The Formula y² - y¹/x² -x¹​

Answer 1

`(\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{0}-\stackrel{y1}{(-7)}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{x}-\underset{x_1}{6}}} ~~ = ~~\stackrel{\stackrel{\textit{\small slope}}{\downarrow }}{ -3 }\implies \cfrac{0+7}{x-6}=-3\implies \cfrac{7}{x-6}=-3 \\\\\\ 7=-3x+18\implies 7+3x=18\implies 3x=11\implies x=\cfrac{11}{3}\implies x=3(2)/(3)`
