Question

The points (4,1) and (x, -6) lie on the same line. If the slope of the line is 1, what is the value of x? A. X = -3 B. X = 3 C. X = 9 D. X = 11

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula here along with the fact that the slope is equal to 1:

$1=\frac{-6-1}{x-4}$ and

$1=\frac{-7}{x-4}$  and cross multiply to get x - 4 = -7 so

x = -3
