The point slope form of a line is written as y - y1 = m(x -x1)
Where m is the slope and x1 and y1 are the points on the line.
You are told the slope is 3 and the point is (2,-1/2)
x1 is 2 and y1 is -1/2
Replace those in the equation to get:
y- (-1/2) = 3(x-2)
Simplify to get the final answer:
y + 1/2 = 3(x-2)
Move all terms that dont contain y to the right side and solve and you get:
y=4x/3-7

Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, there!
Since we can describe eccentricity as 
a) Eccentricity close to 0
An ellipsis with eccentricity whose value is 0, is in fact, a degenerate one almost a circle. An ellipse whose value is close to zero is almost a degenerate circle. The closer the eccentricity comes to zero, the more rounded gets the ellipse just like a circle. (Check picture, please)

b) Eccentricity =5

An eccentricity equal to 5 implies that the distance between the Foci has to be five (5) times larger than the half of its longer axis! In this case, there can't be an ellipse since the eccentricity must be between 0 and 1 in other words:

c) Eccentricity close to 1
In this case, the eccentricity close or equal to 1 We must conceive an ellipse whose measure for the half of the longer axis a and the distance between the Foci 'c' they both have the same size.

Answer: 18.125 lbs
Explanation: The baby weighed 18.125 pounds at the end of eight months.
The baby weighed 7.25 lbs at birth. Eight months later, he weighed 2.5 or 2½ times its birth weight. Multiply 7.25 by 2.5 (which equals 18.125).
So now eight months later, he's 18.125 pounds.
