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.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given equation, the "like terms" are the constants 5/8 and 44.
It simplifies the math if we eliminate the fractions first. Note that 0.75 = 6/8, so now we have:
8(6/8)s - 8(5/8) = 44).
Multiplying all three terms by 8 (above) yields
8(6s) - 8(5) = 8(44), or
48s = 8(44 + 5), or 48s = 8(49)
Dividing both sides by 48 yields s: s = 8(49/48)
Review "like terms:" These are terms that have at least one characteristic in common. 5/8 and 44 are like terms because they are only constants (no variables are present). We must add 5/8 and 44. 0.75s does not have a "like term" in the given equation.
