Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(-98, 18)

Explanation:

We recognize the equation as being in the "point-slope" form.

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . a line with slope m through point (h, k)

__

Comparing this form to the given equation, we identify the parameters as ...

k = 18, m = 71.3, h = -98

The point on this line is (h, k) = (-98, 18).
