c'mon, guy, you can do this. The slope is
(x - 1/6)/(1/3 + 1/4)
Now just set that = 13 and solve for x.
if the slope of the line that passes through the given pair of points is 13, find the value of X.
(-1/4,1/6) and (1/3,x)

You know that the slope is ∆y/∆x -- that is, the change in y/x going from one point to the other. So, you need to solve
(x - 1/6)/(1/3 + 1/4) = 13
(x - 1/6)/(7/12) = 13
x - 1/6 = 13*7/12 = 91/12
x = 91/12 + 1/6 = 93/12 = 31/4
(x - 1/6)/(1/3 + 1/4) = 13
(x - 1/6)/(7/12) = 13
x - 1/6 = 13*7/12 = 91/12
x = 91/12 + 1/6 = 93/12 = 31/4
