Question

Given the point (3,4) the slope of 6, find y, when x=27

Answer 1

y = 148

Explanation:

First, we use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of this line.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 6(x - 3)

y - 4 = 6x - 18

y = 6x - 14

Now we let x = 27 and find y.

y = 6(27) - 14

y = 162 - 14

y = 148
