Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2(x + 7) = 4

Distribute

-2x -14 = 4

Add 14 to each side

-2x-14+14 = 4+14

-2x = 18

Divide each side by -2

-2x/-2 = 18/-2

x = -9

Slope = 5/8

--------------------------
Equation:
--------------------------
y = 5/8 x + b

--------------------------

--------------------------
At (8, 2),
2 = 5/8 (8) + b
2 = 5 + b
b = 2 - 5
b = -3

--------------------------
Equation :
--------------------------
y = 5/8x - 3
