Correct Answer: –4
Solution : Given: The slope of the line passing through the points (2, –1) and ($x$, 5) is –1. Slope($m$) of the line joining $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ is given by, $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ $⇒ -1=\frac{5-(-1)}{x-2}=\frac{6}{x-2}$ $⇒ -x+2=6$ $⇒x=-4$ Hence, the correct answer is –4.
