Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

If the slope of a line joining A(4 , x) and B(−5 , 9) is 1 then find x.

2

Formula:

The slope (m) of a line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula

m = \$ (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) \$

3

Step

In this case, we have the points A(4, x) and B(-5, 9), so the slope (m) is

m = \$(9 - x) / (-5 - 4)\$

4

Step

Since we know that the slope is 1, we can set the equation equal to 1 and solve for x

\$1 = (9 - x) / (-5 - 4)\$

\$1 = (9 - x) / (-9)\$

5

Step

Cross-multiply to get rid of the fraction:

\$1 times (-9) = 9 - x\$

\$-9 - 9 = - x\$

⇒ x = 18

6

Step

Therefore, if the slope of a line joining A(4,x) and B(-5,9) is 1 then x = 18
