<span>So we want to know the number of teachers the university should have if the ratio of students to teachers is 14:1 and the number of students is 896. If x is the number of teachers: 14/1=896/x. Now we solve for x: Lets multiply both sides with x: x*(14/1)=896 and divide both sides by 14 and we get: x=896/14 and x=64. So the university should have 64 teachers.</span>
Slope intercept form is y=mx+b
first plug in m
y=-1/2X + b
now plug in the point (8,1) for the x and the y
1=-1/2(8) + b
now you need to solve for b
simplify
1=-4+ b
add 4
5=b
now that you know b
you can plug it into the equation along with the m
so the answer is
y=-1/2X + 5
A half because 8 can go into 16 2 times without leaving a remainder.
