Answer:
129 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L and C represent the scores of Luke and Caleb, respectively.
L = 2C -15 . . . . . Luke scored 15 less than twice the number Caleb did
L +C = 201 . . . . . they scored 201 points altogether
Add twice the second equation to the first:
2(L +C) + (L) = 2(201) + (2C -15)
3L +2C = 387 +2C . . . . simplify
3L = 387 . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 2C
L = 387/3 = 129 . . . . . . .divide by 3
Luke scored 129 points.

Complete the point-slope equation of the line through (-8,-8)(−8,−8)left parenthesis, minus, 8, comma, minus, 8, right parenthes
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

<h2>y-9 = 17(x+7)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points (-8, -8) and (-7, 9), the general form of equation of the line passing through this point is expressed as y-y1 = m(x-x1) where;

m = slope or gradient and (x1, y1) is the point

m = Δy/Δx = y₂-y₁/x₂-x₁

m = 9-(-8)/-7-(-8)

m = 17/1

m = 17

The slope of the line is 17.

The point-slope equation of the line through the point (-7, 9) is expressed as

y-9 = 17(x-(-7))

y-9 = 17(x+7)
