Answer:

y = -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

-1 - 8 / 1 - (-2)

-9/3

= -3

y = -3x + b

-1 = -3(1) + b

-1 = -3 + b

2 = b

$$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x$

Solution:

Given PRQ is a triangle.

ST is a line parallel to RQ.

$$PT = x, \ PQ = 3x, \ SR=\frac{8}{3}x$

$TQ=PQ-PT$

$TQ=3x -x=2x$

<u>Triangle proportionality theorem,</u>

<em>If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.</em>

$$\frac{PS}{SR} =\frac{PT}{TQ}$

$$\frac{PS}{\frac{8}{3} x} =\frac{x}{2x}$

Do cross multiplication, we get

$$ PS \times 2x=x \times \frac{8}{3} x$

Divide by 2x on both sides, we get

$$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x$
