Question
The line given by the equation `2x - y/3 = 7` passes through the point (k, 6); calculate the value of k.
Solution
Given, the line given by the equation `2x - y/3 = 7` passes through the point (k, 6).
Substituting x = k and y = 6 in the given equation, we have:
`2x - 6/3 = 7`
2k – 2 = 7
2k = 9
k = `9/2`
k = 4.5
