Question : The slope of the line passing through the point (7, –2) and ($x$, 1) is $-\frac{3}{10}$. Find $x$.
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 2
Option 3: –4
Option 4: –3
Correct Answer: –3
Solution : Given: Slope of the line passing through points (7, –2) and ($x$, 1) is $\frac{–3}{10}$. Slope of the line joining $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given by, $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ $⇒\frac{-3}{10}=\frac{1-(-2)}{x-7}$ $⇒\frac{-3}{10}=\frac{3}{x-7}$ $⇒–3x+21=30$ $⇒–3x=9$ $⇒x=–3$ Hence, the correct answer is –3.
