Just good ole algebraic manipulation

First, Let's Combine Common Terms

Now Let's Divide

Let's Simplify That Fraction

Answer
Answer: C
Step-by-step explanation: Go over in the negatives 3 first, then go down 6
Answer:
$50
Step-by-step explanation:
x is distance and y is cost because the cost is dependent on the distance which makes the distance the independent variable. you can always use y=mx+b for these problems!!
√65Explanation:(−5,1)=x1,y1(3,0)=x2,y2The distance is calculated using formula:'Distance =√(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2=√(3−(−5))2+(0−1)2=√(3+5)2+(−1)2=√(8)2+(−1)2=√(64+1)Distance =√65
Answer: 
============================================
Work Shown:

---------------
Explanation:
The idea is to first get all the y terms to one side. I did this by subtracting 2y from both sides in the third step.
Then factor out y and divide both sides by (8x-2)
Afterward there's the optional steps of simplifying (as shown in the final two steps).
