Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello : let  A(2,1)    B(5,-8)

the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(-8-1)/(5-2)  = -9/3=-3

an equation is : y=ax+b     a is a slope

y = -3x +b

 

the line through point  (2,1) :  1= -(3)(2)+b    

b = 7

the equation is : y =-3x+7

Answer:

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the point (2, 1) to the point (5, -8), x (the run) increases by 3 and y (the rise) decreases by 9.  Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -9/3, or m = -3.

Then the equation of the line (in point-slope form) is

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

How do you solve this type of problem?

The price of ticket last year is $ 1231.65

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

This year, Sophia paid $1,071 for season tickets to her favorite baseball team , which is 15% cheaper than last year

To find: Price of season ticket last year

Let the price of season ticket last year be "x"

Therefore, according to question

Price of ticket this year is 15 % cheaper than price of ticket last year

1071 = price of ticket last year - 15 % of 1071

1071 = x - 15 % of 1071

Solve the above expression for "x"

1071 = x - 15 \% \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - \frac{15}{100} \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - 0.15 \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - 160.65\\\\x = 1071 + 160.65\\\\x = 1231.65

Thus price of ticket last year is $ 1231.65
