<span>One number is one less than five times another ....
</span>Let one number be x<span>
The other number is 5x - 1

Their sum ... 
x + 5x - 1 = 6x - 1

Their sum is decreased by 3
6x - 1 - 3 = 6x - 4

The result is eight
6x - 4 = 8
6x = 8 + 4
6x = 12
x = 2

x = 2
</span>5x - 1 = 5(2) - 1 = 9<span>

<u>Answer</u>:

A. y = \frac{-2}{3}x + 3

<u>Explanation</u>:

slope: \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

         : \frac{-2}{3}

equation: y - y1 = m( x - x1 )

                y - 1 = \frac{-2}{3}( x - 3 )

                y = \frac{-2}{3}x + 3
