Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, we need to get x alone on one side of the equation.
Add one to each side of the equation. Subtract 8x from each side of the equation. Divide both sides by -7. You should get 1 as the answer.

The gradient formula is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) aka rise/run, where by (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points on the line.
In this case, the gradient
= -5-(-2))/(2-(-2))
= -3/4

Hence, value of x in the given equation is 2
