Answer:
x = -63
Step-by-step explanation:
If the points A(x,2), B(-3, -4), and C(7, -5) are collinear, the line that passes B and C, also passes A.
The line passes B and C has the form of y = ax + b
=> -4 = a(-3) + b
-5 = a(7) + b
=> Subtraction 1st equation from 2nd equation, we have:
-1 = 10a
=> a = -1/10
=> b = -4 + 3(-1/0) = -43/10
=> This line has form of y = (-1/10)x -43/10
This line passes A(x, 2)
=> 2 = (-1/10)x - 43/10
=> 2 + 43/10 = (-1/10)x
=> 63/10 = (-1/10)x
=> x = -63

45.5 acres of land can be farmed and 24.5 cannot be farmed.
Based on the equation, the coordinate point is (-4, 2). It is -4 because in the original equation, it's
, but because it's positive, that must mean it was originally a negative. Why? Because a negative times an negative equals a positive.
Now, let's convert this to Slope-Intercept Form.
y - 2 = 2/3(x + 4)
y - 2 = 2/3x + 8/3
Add 2 to both sides.
y = 2/3x + 14/3
The slope of the line is 2/3 and the original point was (-4, 2).
