Solution: Below! ^^
Detailed explanation:
Hii! I'm sorry, I can't graph the line for you, but I'll try to give you the best possible explanation.
First, note that the question provides us with the info that the y intercept is -8. This is a very valuable piece of information!
This means that the line crosses the y axis (since it's the y intercept) at the point (0,-8). Plot it on the co-ordinate plane.
Next, this question also provides us with the fact that the slope of the line is 1/4. This is yet another valuable piece of information!
What this tells us is: from that point (0,-8), you need to go up 1 unit, then over 4, and so forth, until you obtain a line.

48
Step-by-step explanation:
no explanation im just big brain
The total weight of candies is unknown. Let x = the total weight of candies.
"One student ate 3/20 of all candies and another 1.2 lb":
The first student ate (3/20)x plus 1.2 lb which is 0.15x + 1.2.
"The second student ate 3/5 of the candies and the remaining 0.3 lb."
The second student ate (3/5)x and 0.3 lb which is 0.6x + 0.3.
Altogether the 2 students ate 0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3.
That was all the amount of candies, so that sum equals x.
0.15x + 1.2 + 0.6x + 0.3 = x
Now we solve the equation for x to find what the total amount of candies was.
0.75x + 1.5 = x
-0.25x = -1.5
x = 6
The total amount of candies was 6 lb.
The first student ate 0.15x + 1.2 = 0.15(6) + 1.2 = 0.9 + 1.2 = 2.1, or 2.1 lb of candies.
The second student ate 0.6x + 0.3 = 0.6(6) + 0.3 = 3.6 + 0.3 = 3.9, or 3.9 lb of candies.
Answer: The first student ate 2.1 lb of candies, and the second student ate 3.9 lb of candies.
