Question

The pair of points lies on the same line with the given slope. Find x.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step 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
