Answer:
x = 15/8
Step-by-step explanation:
x/3 = 5/8
Using cross products
8x = 3*5
8x = 15
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 15/8
x = 15/8
You can try then by plotting the points in.
The answer is C
Make sure by plotting in the points, lets take (-5,27)
y = 12 -3(-5)
y = 12 + 15
y = 27
27 = 27
This is correct
Lets try (-1,15)
y = 12 -3(-1)
y = 12 + 3
y = 15
15 = 15
This is correct
Lets try (8,-12)
y = 12 -3(8)
y = 12 - 24
y = -12
-12 = -12
This is correct too.
The correct ordered pairs are <span>C(-5,27),(-1,15),(8,-12)</span>
