So we will be using 
form, in which m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since we know the slope (-8), all we need to do is solve for the y-intercept. We can do this by inserting (-2,2) into the equation and solve for b.
Firstly, do the multiplication: 
Next, subtract 16 on both sides, and your answer will be -14 = b
Using the previous info we have, our equation is y = -8x - 14
<span>Simplifying
2x + 18y = 36
Solving
2x + 18y = 36
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-18y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 18y + -18y = 36 + -18y
Combine like terms: 18y + -18y = 0
2x + 0 = 36 + -18y
2x = 36 + -18y
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 18 + -9y
Simplifying
x = 18 + -9y</span>
Answer:
75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the total points
66/x = 0.88 (88%)
x = 75
