x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:
The line will have the same slope as the given line, which is m = 3. Therefore, the equation of the line in its slope-intercept form is

Next we need to solve for b by plugging in the coordinates of the given point:

So the equation of the line is

Answer:
not really
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of friends (x) is expected to be an integer. 6.5 friends does not really make sense.
