Since we’ve been given a ratio, 3:8, we can convert that into a fraction and form an equation from it:
=
The reason the numerator on the second fraction is 27/3 is because the team scored 27 points, not 27 baskets.
Simplify (Also replace the ? with an unknown variable):
=
Cross multiply:
3*n = 9*8
Simplify:
3n = 72
Divide both sides by 3:
n = 24
The team had 33 three point tries, 9 successes, and 24 fails.

Answer:
4x - 3y -18 = 0 or y = 4x/3 - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
We will have to find the slope of the line first
The formula for slope:
The standard form of equation of a line is:
y = mx + b
We know m,
So the equation will be:
We have to find the value of b, for that we will put any one of the point in the equation
So, putting (6,2)
2 = 4/3 * 6 + b
2 = 8 +b
b = -6
Putting the value of m and b in the standard form of equation of line,
..
