Step 1
Given information:
The slope of line is 2/3.
The given points are (x,-3) and (4,5).
Step 2
Calculation:
The slope of the line passing through two point is calculated by m=y2y1x2x1
Step 3
The points are (x,-3) and (4,5).
23=5(3)4x
2(4x)=3(5+3)
82x=24
2x=824
2x=16
x=8
Step 4
Final statement: The value of x is -8.

Step 1
We know that the slope of line that passes through (x1,x2) and (y1,y2) is m=y2y1x2x1.
By using it we can calculate the value of x.
m=y2y1x2x1
m=5(3)4x
23=84x
82x=24
2x=824=16
x=8
Step 2
Answer: x=8.

We know that the slope of line that passes through (x1,x2) and (y1,y2) is m=(y2y1)/(x2x1).
m=y2y1x2x1
m=5(3)4x
23=84x
8-2x=24
2x=8-24=-16
x=-8
Answer: x=-8
