Just add 3 to the eqn,
y=5x+3
the 5x is the slope and the 3 is the y int
the y int is where you can shift your function up or down
Slope is 4 (<span> rising 4 units for every unit increase in x-axis, by definition)
y = ax +b
</span>y = 4x +b,
substitiute x=2, y=3 to find b
3=4*2+b
3=8+b
b=-5
So,
y = 4x -5

Answer:
80
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that Tammy ate 12 of the cupcakes she baked, we can write an equation relating the numbers of cupcakes.
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Let S represent the number of cupcakes Stacey baked. Then S-48 is the number Tammy baked. After Tammy ate 12 of her own cupcakes, the number she had was (S -48) -12 = (S -60). Stacey had 4 times this number:
S = 4(S -60)
<h3>solution</h3>
240 = 3S . . . . . . simplify, add 240-S
80 = S . . . . . . . divide by 3
Stacey had 80 cupcakes.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Tammy had 80-48 = 32. After Tammy ate 12, she had 20. Then Stacey had 80/20 = 4 times as many.
If Tammy ate 12 of Stacey's cupcakes, then Stacey started with 60.
