To solve, simply do this:

Then you'll get the answer, -7/16
Answer:
y = -0.2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
To write a linear function, calculate the rate of change of the gallon of water leaving the tank and the starting level.
The function will describe the number of gallons over time or (time, gallons).
This means the function has data points (1, 7.8) and (9, 6.2).
Use the rate of change or slope formula to calculate it.

This means that for the formula y = mx+b then m = -0.2.
This also means that after losing 0.2 gallons the first hour it was at 7.8. So the starting value is 8 gallons.
The equation is y = -0.2 x + 8.
To determine the number of those who joined the basketball camp this year, we just have to multiply the number of those who joined last year by the decimal equivalent of the percentage given. That is,
x = 88(1.25)
x = 110
Therefore, there are a total of 110 players for this years basketball camp.
