Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
m = 1/4
y2 = 4
y1 = 1
x2 = 2
x1 = x
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Solution
1/4 = (4 - 1) / (2- x) Simplify
1/4 = 3 / (2 - x) Cross multiply
2- x =12 Subtract 1 from both sides
-x = 12 - 2
-x = 10 Multiply by -1
x = -10
Check
1/4 = (4 - 1) / (2 - - 10)
1/4 = 3/(2 + 10)
1/4 = 3 / 12
1/4 = 1/4
Odd as the answer is, it does check.
