Hi there!
To find your answer, simply sub in the point and the slope into y-y1=m(x-x1) for y1, x1 and m!
m=-8
point: (1,-8) use this point for x1 and y1
y+8=-8(x-1)
Therefore your equation is y+8=-8(x-1)
Hope this helps!
#27.
First cross multiply
2 (2a-3) = 3 (a-1)
next use the distribute property on both sides
4a - 6 = 3a - 3
combine like terms, subtract 3a from both sides and add 6 to both sides
a = 3
#28
cross multiply
3x = 4, then divide both sides by 3
x = 4/3
#30
add 1/4 to both sides
3/x = 1/2 + 1/4, find a common denominator for the right side fractions
3/x = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
therefore, x = 4
When the height is 0 that is when it hits the ground
solve
0=-16t²+25x+3
cant factor so use quadratic formula
for
0=ax²+bx+c

so for
0=-16t²+25t+3
a=-16
b=25
c=3
so



it has to be a positive time
so it will hit the ground after

seconds
The answer to 6 is repeating I believe
