Answer:

x=8.

Explanation:

1. Write the slope equation.


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

2. Name the ordered pairs and variables.

Say (x, 2) is pair 1 and (6, 3) is pair 2. Hence:


x_(1) =x;\\\\ y_(1) =2;\\ \\x_(2) =6;\\\\ y_(2) =3\\ \\m=-(1)/(2)

3. Substitute the variables into the equation.


-(1)/(2) =(3- 2 )/(6 -x )

4. Solve the equation.


-(1)/(2) =(1 )/(6 -x )\\ \\-(2)/(1)=(6 -x)/(1 )\\ \\-2=6-x\\ \\6-x=-2\\\\-x=-2-6\\ \\-x=-8\\\\(-1)-x=-8(-1)\\ \\x=8

5. Rewrite the incomplete ordered pair.

(8, 2).
