The points (4, 1) and (x, -6) lie on the same line. if the slope of the line is 1 what is the value of x?

a -3
b 3
c 9
d 11

the unknown X value is -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's determine X using the formula for the slope of a straight line, which

is m = (change in y) / (change in x).  In this particular case, going from (4, 1) to (X, -6), the change in x is (X - 4) and the change in y is -6 - 1, or -7.  Thus,

the slope m is:

                 -7

m = 1 =

              X - 4

And so:   1(X - 4) = -7, or X - 4 = -7, or X = -3

                                       -7

Check:  Does m = -4 = = 1 as specified in the problem statement?

                                       -3 - 4        YES

So the unknown X value is -3.

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.
