Question 842622: Solve for x of the line through the two given points has the given slope.
(1ˏ−1)and(xˏx^2−2), m=4
I just don't understand how to find x.
I got the equation y=4x-5 with what was given but I don't know how that helps.

Hi,

Line:  y =4x-5   Good Work

4x-5 = x^2 - 2

  x^2 - 4x + 3) =0

  (x-1)(x-3) = 0,  x = 1  and x  = 3

Note:  P(3,7)
