Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

Find the equation of the line

y = mx + b

Use the slope given 3 and the x of 4 and the y of 11 from the point given (4,11)

11 = 3(4) +b Solve for y

11 = 12 + b Subtract 12 from both sides

-1 = b

y = 3x -1 This is the equation of the line. Substitute in 17 for y and solve for x

17 = 3x -1 Add 1 to both sides

18 = 3x Divide both sides by 3

6 = x
