Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the point (1,3) and has a slope of -32.

$y=-32x+35$

Please check the attached graph too.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point (1, 3)

The slope m = -32

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where

m is the slope of the line

(x₁, y₁) is the point

In our case:

m = -32

(x₁, y₁) = (1, 3)

substituting m = -32 and (x₁, y₁) = (1, 3) in the point-slope form of the line equation

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

$y-3=-32\left(x-1\right)$

Add 3 to both sides

$y-3+3=-32\left(x-1\right)+3$

Simplify

$y=-32x+35$

Therefore, the equation of the line that passes through the point (1,3) and has a slope of -32.

$y=-32x+35$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As I understand, you need to know the relationship between the area of similar figures. Two shapes are similar if we can turn one into the other by moving, rotating, flipping, or scaling, so this means we can make one shape bigger or smaller.

From math, if we call $k$ the scaling factor, then the area of one figure ( $A_{1}$ ) divided by the area of another similar figure ( $A_{2}$ ) will be equal to the scaling factor squared. In other words:
