The pair of points lies on the same line with the given slope. Find x.
(3,2), (x,8); slope = 2
To find the value of x, we can use the slope formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plugging in the given values, we have:
2 = (8 - 2) / (x - 3)
Multiplying both sides of the equation by (x - 3) gives us:
2(x - 3) = 8 - 2
Expanding and simplifying:
2x - 6 = 6
Adding 6 to both sides:
2x = 12
Dividing both sides by 2:
x = 6
So, x = 6.
