To Calculate:
Value of p , if (3,7) , (-6,1) , (9, p ) lie on the same line.
Answer to Problem 48HP
p = 11
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
Points (3,7) , (-6,1) , (9, p ) lie on the same line.
Concept Used:
Equation of slope-intercept form of a line passing through points
Where
b = y-intercept
Calculation:
First , we form the equation of line passing through points (3,7) , (-6,1):
To find slope of the line containing the given points
Use the slope and either of the points (3,7 ) , (-6,1) to find the value of p .
Let
