The equations are in slope intercept form which is
y = mx+b
m is the slope of the equation. slope is rise/ run meaning that if a slope is 2, you can also say 2/1. this means you go up 2 squares and to the right 1 point. if the slope is negative, it looks like a downhill and the line falls left to right. if the slope is positive, it looks like uphill and the line falls right to left.
the x is what the slope is multiplied by but isn’t significant in graphing because it’s always just x
the b represents the y intercept. the y axis is the vertical line on the graph. for example if b = 7, then the line goes through 7 on the graph and basically tells us that (0,7) is a point on the line.
for y= x + 7, the slope is 1. that equation is just saying y= 1x+7 but the one is unnecessary usually because it’s implied that the x means 1x

11/8 would be your answer
Subtract both fractions. Convert both fractions into improper fractions. So do 3x10+9 and see what ur answer is and put it over ten. Then do 2x16+1 and put the answer u get over 6. Then find the common denominator which is 30. Then subract both fractions and u should get ur answer
-8 and 5: -8 x 5 = -40; -8 + 5 = -3
