Answer:
x= 2
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\boxed{slope = \frac{y _{1} - y_2}{x_1 - x_2} }[/tex]
Substitute known values into the formula:
[tex] - 2 = \frac{ - 6 - 10}{x - ( - 6)} [/tex]
[tex] - 2 = \frac{ - 16}{x + 6} [/tex]
-2(x +6)= -16
Divide both sides by -2:
x +6= -16 ÷(-2)
x +6= 8
Subtract both sides by 6:
x= 8 -6
x= 2
