Algebra slope of point, 1 question, 10 points.

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-09] [Hit: ]

If the slope of points (x,8) and (5,10) is (5/-3)
solve for x
m=5/-3

m = -5/3 = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

-5/3 = (8 - 10) / (x - 5) = -2 / (x - 5)
x - 5 = -2 / (5/3) = 2(3/5) = 6/5
x = 6/5 + 5 = 6/5 + 25/5 = 31/5
