Question

(-3,-2) and (x,6); m=2

Answer 1

x=1

Explanation:

We can find the slope given two points by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

2 = (6--2)/(x--3)

2 = (6+2)/(x+3)

2 = 8/(x+3)

Multiply each side by x+3

2(x+3) = 8/(x+3) * (x+3)

2(x+3) = 8

Divide each side by 2

2/2 (x+3) = 8/2

x+3 = 4

Subtract 3 from each side

x+3-3=4-3

x =1
