Please help. I WILL REPORT LINKS!!! So, basically it's asking to write an equation of the line that passes through the given poi
nts in any form. Also, no, it's not -1x + 2.5 or 1x + 2.5. Don't give me those answers! I tried them and they were wrong. Please help!!

Answer:
-1.8,3
Step-by-step explanation:
This type of problem often results in two answers for X, and to get it, I often like to rearrange the formula to look like this: 5x^2-6x-27. There are various ways to answer this question, but since this is a quadratic equation, I commend using the quadratic formula! It may look scary, but it is actually really simple. I will attach a picture of this formula for reference when you need it.
looking at our modified formula, a= 5, b=-6, and c= -27. With these values in mind, you can go ahead and plug them in the formula. So it will look like (6±√(-6)²-4(5)(-27) )÷2(5).
Let’s break this down a bit, what this formula is saying is that you’ll have 2 operations to do now, the first one will look like this:
, this will result in 3, which is one of your values for x
the second operation will be exactly the same, but instead of adding 6 to the square root of 576 (pssst, it is 24 btw), you will be subtracting. This second operation once done will result in -1.8, which is rounded to the nearest tenth!
