Given points A (k, 5) and B (6,8), find k so that the slope of line AB is 2/3. How do I solve this?
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "You plug in the slope formula just like you would if there were\r\n" );
document.write( "a number there instead of the letter k:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"m\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"m\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"%288-5%29%2F%286-k%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"m\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"3%2F%286-k%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You are told that the slope is \"2%2F3\" so also substitute \r\n" );
document.write( "that for the slope \"m\":\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"2%2F3\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"3%2F%286-k%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Do you know how to solve that for k?  If not post again asking how.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You will get:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"k\"\"%22%22=%22%22\"\"3%2F2\"\r\n" );
