A person sold 100 shares of a stock at a loss of 40%.
selling price for the 100 shares was $3,000
Let the stock was bought at $x then we can write

Hence Amount paid for the Stock was $5000
It is the same beacuse x is equal to y so x and y both equal 22
To do this make x and y equal 0, y-intercept is at x=0, and x-intercept is at y=0:
x-intercept:
2x+7(0) = -14
2x = -14
x = -7
y-intercept:
2(0) + 7y = -14
7y = -14
y = -2
1
-
2
Put it like that and there’s your constant
