(4,5),(-3,-1)
slope = (-1 - 5) / (-3 - 4) = -6/-7 = 6/7
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 6/7
using points (-3,-1)...x1 = -3 and y1 = -1
now we sub...pay attention to ur signs
y - (-1) = 6/7(x - (-3) =
y + 1 = 6/7(x + 3) <===
Two polynomials are equal if the coefficients are equal.

answer the original number is 6
(5x + 2 - 10) *2 = 44
10x + -16 = 44
10x = 60
x=6
