If the 3 points are collinear, then the slopes of all line segments connecting the points are the same.

Thus, 

         -6 - (-8)         2
m = ------------- = -------- = -1/2
         -7 - (-3)         -4

Then the following must be true:

             4-(-6)          10
-1/2 = ------------ = ---------
             c - (-7)       c + 7

Cross multiplying, -(c+7) = 20, and c+7 = -20, so that c = -27

Solve the equation<br> 15x+2=45x+4
BaLLatris [955]
15x + 2 = 45x + 4

Subtract 2 from both sides, as well as subtracting 45x from both sides.

15x - 45x = 4 - 2

-30x = 2

Divide both sides by -30.

x = 2/-30

x = - 1/15
