Question

Find the x coordinate of the point.

Answer 1

x= -17

Explanation:

When we have 2 points, we can find the slope using

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

Substituting what we know

1/5 = (0-3)/(x--2)

1/5 = -3/(x+2)

Using cross products

1*(x+2) = 5*(-3)

x+2 = -15

Subtract 2 from each side

x+2-2 = -15-2

x=-17
