How do I find the value of x so the slope of a line through (x,5) and (4,2) is 1/3?

Slope=change in y/change in x
1/3 = 5-2/x-4 (or 2-5/4-x)
1/3 = 3/x-4
then cross multiply
1(x-4) = 3(3)
x-4=9
add 4 to both sides
x=13

Even though this is not maths, let me help you. In order to answer the first question I suggest you to try to <span>imagine what would happen if people had the power to genetically alter things. It might be helpful to think about how it would affect your life. In that case you would come up to the answer on what should I do with my genetic power.
Now for the second one, let me say that </span> <span>science cannot answer because results are not in the hands of the scientists, but in the hands of the people. 
I hope this info can help</span>

Find the slope given the points (-5,-3) and (2,4)
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The slope of the line is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two coordinate points:

  • (-5, -3)
  • (2, 4)

We can use the rate of change formula to find the slope of the points.

  • \displaystyle \frac{\triangle y}{\triangle x}

In mathematics, coordinate pairs are labeled as:

(x_1, y_1) \ \text{and} \ (x_2, y_2)

Therefore, we can relabel our points:

  • x_1 = -5
  • y_1 = -3
  • x_2 = 2
  • y_2 = 4

After we do this, we can expand the rate of change formula:

\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Now, we can use simple substitution to solve for m, or the slope.

\displaystyle m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\m = \frac{4-(-3)}{2-(-5)}\\\\m = \frac{7}{7}\\\\m = 1

Therefore, the slope of the line is 1.
