Pls answer this question 43 points

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(y-5) = 24

Divide each side by -3

-3(y-5)/-3 = 24/-3

y - 5 = -8

Add 5 to each side

y-5+5 = -8+5

y = -3

y= -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(y-5)= 24

Do distributive property so, -3y + 15= 24

Subtract 15 from both sides so, -3y + 15 - 15= 24 - 15

Divide -3 from both sides to leave y on one side so, -3/-3y= 9/-3

The answer would be y= -3.

Hope this helps

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
