A. y=-3x + 29

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope shows up in the equation as the coefficient of x. Only answer choice A has an x-coefficient of -3. It also happens to describe a line that goes through (7, 8).

y = -3x +29

___

Check

y = -3·7 +29 = -21 +29 = 8 . . . . as required

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = - 3, so

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation of the line

To find c substitute (7, 8) into the partial equation

8 = - 21 + c ⇒ c = 8 + 21 = 29

y = - 3x + 29 → A

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17
