Points (1,3), (-4,7), and (-29,K) are collinear. Find K. How do i solve this?

1 answer:

3 0

Co linear points have same slope
Points (1,3), (-4,7), and (-29,K)
m1,2=7-3/-4-1=-4/5

m2,3=K-7/-29+4
m2,3=K-7/-25

-4/5=K-7/-25
4/5=K-7/25
4=K-7/5
20=K-7
K=27

Answer: B

You can find slope by using the slope formula. Because we are already given two coordinate points, we can use that to find our slope. The slope formula is $\frac{y^{2}-y^{1} }{x^{2}-x^{1} }$ . This also refers to $\frac{5-(-5)}{0-4}$ or 10/-4 or -5/2. Any coordinate with the x-value as 0 means that that coordinate is the y-intercept. Because (0,5) has 0 as its x-value, the y-intercept is 5.
