I don't really know if this is correct but I think it is x+y+z=14
Might want to edit this question and add pictures:-)
Answer:
Using y = mx + c
slope = -17+5/3-1 = -12/2 = -6
Using point (1 , - 5)
y + 5 = -6(x - 1)
y + 5 = - 6x + 6
y = - 6x + 6 - 5
y = - 6x + 1
Hope this helps.
When exponents are separated by a parenthesis it means you need to add them. Because the parenthesis is around the entire number then you raise everything inside the parenthesis to the outside exponent. Then anything raised by 0 as an exponent is automatically 1.
You think of this visually as 3a*3a*3a= 27a^9 is your answer
