Question

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY MATH ASAP PLEASE!!!!​

Answer 1

y - 27 = 8(x - 3)

Explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =
`(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (3, 27) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 8, - 61)

m =
`(-61-27)/(-8-3)` =
`(-88)/(-11)` = 8

Using m = 8 and (a, b) = (3, 27) , then

y - 27 = 8(x - 3) ← equation in point- slope form
