Question

Can this equation be re-written? y=68+27(x-3)

Answer 1

We have the following expression:
\[y=68+27(x-3)\]
We know it's a equation corresponding to a line, because it's a 1st degree equation, and it obeys the point-slope formula of the line:
\[y=mx+b\]
So let's apply distributive on 27 right there, and reorder:
\[y=68+27x-81\]
y=27x-13
But let's express this line, in a general form, by that, I mean make everything equal 0:
\[-27x+y+13=0\]
and that's another way of expressing the initial equation.
