Answer:
3x - 2y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Find the slope
slope m = (y2 - y1)(/x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 1)/(3 - 1) = 3/2
Step 1: Use the formula y = mx + b to solve
This is slope-intercept form of a line. We have a slope of 3/2, and a point (x, y), which is (1, 1). Plug those values into the equation above and solve for b (the only variable we are missing
1 = (3/2)(1) + b
1 = 3/2 + b
1 - 3/2 = b
2/2 - 3/2 = b
-1/2 = b
Step 2: Rewrite the formula using the slope and the b value we just calculated
y = (3/2)x - 1/2
Step 3: Standard form of a line is ax + by = c, where a is a positive integer, so we rearrange the equation from step 2 to standard form.
y = (3/2)x - 1/2
-(3/2)x + y = -1/2 (subtract (3/2)x from both sides)
-3x + 2y = -1 (multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction on x)
3x - 2y = 1 (multiply by -1 so a becomes positive)
It should be x=9/2 and 1/2
The question is not clear enough
Multiply both sides by 3
so it should look like this:
3x+7=267
now subtract 7 from each side so now it should look like this
3x=260
Now divide each side by 3
and you will get
x=260/3
