Steps:
1. Find the slope by using the slope formula
Y2-Y1
---------
X2-X1
-11 + 7
----------
-8 + 3
2.
-11 + 7= -4
-8 + 3= -5
3. Your slope is 4/5 (because you have to turn two negatives into a positive)
4. Now you do the point-slope formula
Y-Y1= m(x-x1)
Y +7=4/5 (x +3)

Answer:
The answer is
One: 28, 29, 30
Two: 75,77
Step-by-step explanation:
One
Let the three numbers be (x - 1) , x , and x + 1
(x - 1) + x + (x +1 ) - 12 = 75 Remove the brackets
x - 1 + x + x + 1 - 12 = 75 Combine the like terms on the left
3x - 12 = 75 Add 12 to both sides
3x = 75 + 12
3x = 87 Divide by 3
x = 87/3
x = 29
Two
Let the first odd number = 2x -1
Let the second odd number = 2x + 1
2x - 1 + 2x + 1 + 18 = 170 Combine like terms on the left.
4x + 18 = 170 Subtract 18 from both sides.
4x = 170 - 18 Combine like terms on the right
4x = 152 Divide by 4
4x/4 = 152/4
x = 38
2 * 38 - 1 = 75
2 * 38 + 1 = 77
