First of all, you organize all of the info that you're given. We know that the points are (x, y). Therefore, 8 is x and 5 is y. 5/7 is your m, since m represents the slope. 

x = 8
y = 5
m = 5/7
b = y-intercept, which is the missing info

Then, you put it into a multi-step equation.

The slope equation formula is y = mx + b. Now, we solve for the equation.

y = mx + b

5 = 5/7(8) + b (missing info is the y-intercept, so that's why it stays as "b")

5 = 5/7(8/1) + b (any whole number converted into fractions always have a denominator of 1)

       5 = 40/7 + b        At this point, since 5 as a fraction is 5/1, you need to 
-40/7   -40/7 + b        multiply the numerator and denominator by 7 so that 
_____________      you're able to subtract 40/7 from it. So, 5 x 7 = 35 and 
                                   1 x 7 = 7, giving you the fraction of 35/7. 35/7 - 40/7 =
                                   -5/7.
-5/7 = b

Finally, you've got all the info you need to write the equation. As a result, you just substitute the letters with the numbers:

m = 5/7
b = -5/7

y = 5/7x - 5/7 
I hope I helped and that you understood my explanations! :)

How to write an equation and use The Distributive Property .
Airida [17]
<h2>Answer</h2>

Distributive Property

The distributive property states that when a factor is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, you can multiply each of the two numbers by that factor and then add them.

<h2>Example</h2><h3>Equation </h3>

10(x + 2) = 45

Apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation by multiplying

two numbers inside the parentheses by 10

10(x) + 10(2) = 45

Now add them

10x + 20 = 45

Rearrange the like terms

10x = 45 -20

10x = 25

x = 25/10

x = 2.5

Help me ???? Really need the help i dont remember learning this
vlada-n [284]
Hmmmm

the 1 in 435.15 is worth 0.1 or 1/10


1/10 of 1/10 is 1/10 times 1/10 or 1/100 or 0.1/10 or 0.01/1 or 0.01

so we want one with the 1 that is 2 spaces to the right of the decimal
that is choice H
remember, when you divide by 10, move the decimal to the left 1 space

H is the answer
