Question

For what value of x will the line passing through the points A(x+14, 5) and B(2−3x, 8) be vertical?

Answer 1

The value of x is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

A(x+14,5) and B(2-3x, 8)

Since both are vertical,

So, their x-coordinates should be equal,

So, it becomes,

$x+14=2-3x\\\\x+3x=2-14\\\\4x=-12\\\\x=\dfrac{-12}{4}\\\\x=-3$

Hence, the value of x is -3.
