Answer:
5x -y = -37
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:
A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5
B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1
Then the constant C can be found using either point.
5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37
The equation of the line is ...
5x -y = -37
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.
The numbers are 6 and 5 because 6-5=1 and 6^2=36 or 6*6=36,5^2=25 or 5*5=25. 36+25=61
Answer:
She uses 243 beads for the 5th string.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we can see a pattern. If she triples the number of beads in each of the next strings, that means that we just take the last number and multiply by 3. If the first string uses 3, then:
The second uses 9, 3 * 3 = 9
The third uses 27, 9 * 3 = 27
The fourth uses 81, 27 * 3 = 81
And the 5th uses 243, 81 * 3 = 243.
