Question

A line with a slope of

4/7 passes through the points (h,10) and (–4,6). What is the value of h?

Answer 1

h = 3

Explanation:

y-6 = 4/7 (x-(-4)

y - 6 = 4/7 (x+4)

y - 6 = 4/7 x + 16/7

y = 4/7 x + 16/7 + 6

y = 4/7 x + (16+42)/7

y = 4/7 x + 58/7

10 = 4/7 x + 58/7

4/7 x = 10 - 58/7

4/7 x = (70-58)/7

4/7 x = 12/7

7/4 * 4/7 x = 12/7 * 7/4

x = 3
