"of" means multiply and "is" means equal
1. x = 14
x = 14(3) <em>multiply both sides by 3 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 42
2. x = 14
x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 to isolate "x"</em>
x = 70
3. x = 14
2x = 14(5) <em>multiply both sides by 5 </em>
2x = 70
x = 35 <em>divide both sides by 2 to isolate "x"</em>
4. x = 14
7x = 14(8) <em>multiply both sides by 8 </em>
7x = 112
x = 16 <em>divide both sides by 7 to isolate "x"</em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points (3, 9) and (9, 1), we must first solve for the slope of the line before proceeding with writing the point-slope form.
In order to solve for the slope (<em>m </em>), use the following formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Let (x₁, y₁) = (3, 9)
(x₂, y₂) = (9, 1)
Substitute these values into the given formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (1 - 9)/(9 - 3)
Therefore, the slope of the line, m = -4/3.
Next, using the slope, m = -4/3, and one of the given points, (x₁, y₁) = (3, 9), substitute these values into the following point-slope form:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
⇒ This is the <u>point-slope form</u>.
