Question

What is the equation of the line containing the points (3, 1), (9, 3), and (27, 9)?

Answer 1

From the given points that are (3,1),(9,3),(27,9), we can say that x is three times of y. That is

x= 3y

And we need to solve for y. For that, we need to get rid of 3 from the right side by dividing both sides by 3 . And on doing so , we will get

$\frac{x}{3} = \frac{3y}{3}$

$\frac{x}{3}=y$

or

$y=\frac{x}{3}$
