Answer: x=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 5 to both sides to get 2x by itself

Yes, subtract 1 from both sides to get 3x by itself so you can subtract 2x as to not get a negative x value

One common mistake would be to accidentaly adding or subtracting 1 or 5 when they are supposed to be added/subtracted. To avoid this just go back and check your awnser by plugging it in.

Heyo! I need some help, please. What is the x coordinate if (x, 17) is on a line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (-1,

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The line with points (1,2) and (-1,-8). Work out its equation.

y = mx + b

The slope is:

m = (-8 - 2)/(-1 - 1) = -10/-2 = 5

To find the y intercept, substitute x and y-xoordinates of point (1,2):

2 = 5(1) + b
b = 2 - 5
b = -3

The line is:

y = 5x - 3

Point (x, 17), substitute y-coordinate and solve for x

17 = 5x - 3
5x = 17 + 3
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4
