The value of xx, if the slope of the line joining (8,(-8,,11), (2,x)(2, x) is (43)left(frac{-4}{3} ight) will be

a

13frac{1}{3}

b

53frac{5}{3}

c

73frac{-7}{3}

d

73frac{7}{3}

Answer : Option C
Explanation :

We know that

Slope of a line =y2y1x2x1=frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

43=x112+8frac{-4}{3}=frac{x-11}{2+8}

43=x111040=3x33Rightarrow frac{-4}{3}=frac{x-11}{10} Rightarrow-40=3 x-33

40+33=3xRightarrow-40+33=3 x

7=3xRightarrow-7=3 x

x=73Rightarrow x=frac{-7}{3}
