Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (x, - 5 )
m = [tex]\frac{-5-6}{x-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-11}{x-2}[/tex] , then
[tex]\frac{-11}{x-2}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{11}{7}[/tex] ← numerators are equal, so equate the denominators
x - 2 = 7 ( add 2 to both sides )
