Question

M = 0; (x,- 3) and (5,x)

Find the given value of x so that the line through the pair of points is parallel and/or perpendicular to the slope given. (unless the slopes are 0 and undefined)

*Does this mean that the problem is completely undefined since there is a 0? Or can it also be parallel?
-personal note

Answer 1

x=-3

Explanation:

The values of y with respect to the points created is constant, hence the two points will have the same y values but difference their respective x values

1. m=
2. 
   `(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`
3. hence,
4. 
   `(x +3)/( - 5 - x ) = 0`
5. x+3=0
6. x=-3
