Answer: y=-6x-57

Step-by-step explanation: the normal format of a linear equation is

y=(slope)x+y intercept. The slope is -6 so y=-6x+y intercept. Plugging in the cordinates, -3=-9(-6)+y intercept. We'll call the y intercept b. -3=54+b. Subtract 54 from both sides of the equation and you get b=-54. The linear equation is

y=-6x-57.

You can check by plugging in x= -9, and y= -3. -3=54-57. -3=-3

GarryVolchara [31]

Given equations:
P=w+2
p=7w-16
Compare both equations
7w-16=w+2
Add 16 to both sides.
7w=w+18
Subtract w from both sides.
6w=18
Divide both sides by 6.
w=3, which is the age of Winnie.
Now Peter's age=3+2=5 years

Option A is the correct method to find the age of Peter and Winnie.
