This is how you do it.
y = a(x - 3)(x - 8)
<span>-2 = a(-1 - 3)(-1 - 8) </span>
<span>-2 = 36a </span>
<span>- 1 / 18 = a </span>
<span>y = ( - 1 / 18)(x^2 - 11x + 24) </span>
<span>y = (- 1 / 18)x^2 + (11 / 18)x - (3 / 2)
</span>

Answer:
y=-3/7x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
first formula (Slope): y2-y1/x2-x1
-1-2/7-0= -3/7
second formula (point slope): y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-2=-3/7(x-0)
(distribute the -3/7)
y-2=-3/7x-0
(add 2 to both sides)
y=-3/7x+2

Let's assume two variables x and y which represent the local and international calls respectively.
x + y = 852 = total number of minutes which were consumed by the company (equation 1)
0.06*x+ 0.15 y =69.84 = total price which was charged for the phone calls (Equation 2)
from equation 1:-
x=852 -y (sub in equation 2)
0.06 (852 - y) + 0.15 y =69.84
51.12 -0.06 y +0.15 y =69.84 (subtracting both sides by 51.12)
0.09 y =18.74
y= 208 minutes = international minutes (sub in 1)
208+x=852 (By subtracting both sides by 208)
x = 852-208 = 644 minutes = local minutes
Y-y1=m(x-x1)
find slope
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
so
(-4,-1)
(3,-3)
slope=(-3-(-1))/(3-(-4))=(-3+1)/(3+4)=-2/7
y-(-1)=-2/7(x-(-4))
y+1=-2/7(x+4)
