You're given the slope of the line and a point thru which the line passes. So it makes sense to use the point-slope form of the equation of a straight line: if the point is (a,b) and the slope is m, then
y-b=m(x-a). You'd then solve this for y to obtain the equation in slope-intercept form.
On the other hand, if you're asked to write the equation in slope-intercept form, starting with the general form of this equation may be faster: y=mx+b.
Substitute the given values for x and y (which are 25 and -9) and m (which is (2/5). Solve the resulting equation for b (the y-intercept).
Then write the finished equation: y=( ? )x + b, where b is the y-intercept you've just found.

Hi there! The answer is £198.
If you spend 3 / 12 of a certain amount of money, you have 9 / 12 of the money left.
Simplify the fraction.
9 / 12 = 3 / 4.
To find the amount of money left, we multiply this factor by 264. We get the following
£264 × 3/4 = £264 × 0.75 = £198
Therefore the answer is £198
