The pair of points lies on the same line with the given slope. Find x.
(5,9), (x, 15); slope = 2
Find X.
X = [ ] (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)
Using the formula for slope, we have:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
2 = (15 - 9) / (x - 5)
Multiplying both sides by (x - 5), we have:
2(x - 5) = 15 - 9
2x - 10 = 6
2x = 16
x = 16/2
x = 8
Therefore, x = 8.
