2x - 48 = 10x
-2x -2x
-48 = 8x
/8 /8
-6 = x
if you move all of your x's on to the same side it is easier to solve
y= (1, 4) times x + (15, 4)
0.68 = 0.6 + .08 = 6 x 0.1 + 8 x .01
They should all equal 0.68 :)
Answer: y = (-4/5)x + 8
Solution
The equation of line is
y = mx + b
Where
y = y coordinate
m = slope
x = x coordinate
b = y intercept
In order to write the equation of line we need to find the y-intercept (b)
substitute the slope (-4/5) and coordinates given (0,8) ,
y = mx + b
8 = -4/5 (0) + b
8 = b
So,
y = (-4/5)x + 8
This would be easier for you if you put it in a graph
