Uhhhh I don't think that the correct answer.
First, find the gradient of the line segment.
Gradient = Rise/Run = (2-6)/(2-5) = 4/3.
Since the other line segment is parallel to this line segment, their gradients are the same.
That means (-2+4)/(x-5) = 4/3.
2/(x-5) = 4/3
It is obvious x = 6.5
X+3y=7
x-3y=1
add them together
x+3y=7
<u>x-3y=1 +
</u>2x+0y=8
2x=8
divide 2
x=4
subsitute
x+3y=7
4+3y=7
subtract 4
3y=3
divid 3
y=1
x=4
y=1
answer is A
