y = -
x - 5
the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
here m = - 
y = -
x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute (- 4, - 3 ) into the partial equation
- 3 = 2 + c ⇒ c = - 3 - 2 = - 5
y = -
x - 5 ← in slope-intercept form
Answer and working out attached below. Hope this helps.
Maria will do more laps this year, assuming that last year they didn't do one or zero laps.
So basically
what percent (x%) is (=) 88 (88) out of (88/) 106 (106)
x%=88/106
x%=0.83
percent means partst out of 100
x%=x/100
x/100=0.83
multiply both isdes by 100
x=83
83%
