Last year at a certain high school, there were 75 boys on the honor roll and 50 girls on the honor roll. This year, the number o
f boys on the honor roll decreased by 24% and the number of girls on the honor roll decreased by 14%. By what percentage did the total number of students on the honor roll decrease? round your answer to the nearest tenth (if necessary).
The slope of the first equation would be -5/2 because 2y=-5x+8 y=-5x/2+4 The y intercept of the 2nd equation is when x=0, so -7y=10 y=-10/7 The equation of the line would be y=-5x/2-10/7 Or in standard form.... 5x/2+y=-10/7 5x+27=-20/7
