Answer:
Distance Maria had to walk in the afternoon is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets take that Maria walked 
miles in the afternoon.
Distance walked in the morning + distance walked in the afternoon = 
⇒
Since each table had 7 women and 3 men at each table, that would mean each table has 10 people. Since there are 9 tables he was waiting on, and 10 people at each table, multiply 9 x 10, and you will find that he served 90 people in total.
First of all we have to find the slope
m = y₂-y₁ / x₂-x₁
m = -8 + 16 / -10 + 8
m = 8/-2
m = -4
y-y₁ = m (x-x₁)
y + 8 = -4 (x + 10)
y + 8 = -4x - 40
y = -4x -40 - 8
y = -4x -48
For the first one, x=-1, y=-8
