Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (3,8) and (1,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

let eqn be y = mx + b.

m = (-2 - 8)/(1 - 3) = 5

sub (3, 8):

8 = 5(3) + b

b = -7

therefore equation of the line is y = 5x - 7

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
