You can isolate y and you know that the slope is the number in front of x (the one that multiplies it)
You know that the y-intercept is the value of y when x=0, therefore you can find y by replacing x with 0 in the equation
1-equation
5x-8y=3
5x=3+8y
5x-3=8y
(5x-3)/8=y
y=(5/8)x -3/8
(Slope = 5/8)
2- y-intecept (x=0)
y=(5/8)(0)-3/8
y=-3/8
So 6 shots equals 25% of the teams total shots(x).
So 6=0.25(x)
x=6/0.25
x=24
If the team made 62.5% of their shots, then they missed 100%-6.25%=37.5%
37.5% of 24= 24(0.375)=9
Hope this helps
