First you have to find the angle B (check attachment)
Then you can find the last angle inside the triangle, which I'll call C
Now you can find angle A
Find the slope of the line passing throught the points (2, 2) and (4, 3).
The formula of a slope:
Substitute:
If the point (x, -1) lie on the same line, then the slope of line passing through the points (2, 2) and (x, -1) the same:
Substitute:
We have the equation:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>add 2 to both sides</em>
<h3>Answer: x = -4.</h3>
