Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope equation since we are given a point that the line passes through and its slope:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

(-2, -8), m = 3

Substitute these values into the equation.

y - (-8) = 3(x - (-2))
y + 8 = 3(x + 2)
y + 8 = 3x + 6
y = 3x - 2

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, -8) and has a slope of 3 is y = 3x - 2.

240,000 is a whole number. Now do the power of ten lol. Use a calculator. Remember don't do it all at once. The powers mean multiplying separate for example: 10×10 equals 100. I hundred times10 equals 1000. That is powered by three because it is multiplying 1030 different times which makes it the power. Simple math these days ha ha
