so you're going to need to find the slope. in order to do that use (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(7-(-2))/(0-8)
simplify
9/-8
simplify -9/8
now using y=mx+b, we need to find b. so we can plug in the coordinates of (0,7) or (8,-2). let's use (8,-2) because it involves more math.
y=mx+b
-2=(-9/8)(8)+b
multiply (-9/8) by 8 to get -9
-2=-9+b
add 9 to both sides
7=b
so our equation is now
y=-(9/8)x+7
Answer: -46
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: -80
Step-by-step explanation:
The value of "x" is 5.5
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that we have to solve the proportion

We can solve the above given proportion for "x" by cross multiplying
Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction
Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction
Set the two products equal to each other
Solve for the variable "x"

On rounding to nearest tenth we get 5.5
Thus value of "x" is 5.5
