1. Slope
M = -5/4

2. Y- intercept
Y = mx + b
-9 = (-5/4)(8) + b
-9 = -10 + b
-9 + 10 = -10 + 10 + b (the ten cancels out and we are just left with our b)
1 = b

So, therefore, the equation is:
Y = -5/4x + 1

It was reported that about 80% of airline tickets-nearly $65 billion worth last year are issued over the internet. What were the

frozen [14]

Answer:

The answer is nearly $81 billion.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know that 80% of airline tickets worth $65 billion, then $65=80\%\plus{Total_{tickets}}=0.8\plus{Total_{tickets}}\\$ .
Then,to know how much billion dollars worth the total tickets, we just have to clear out $Total_{tickets}$ of the equation, by dividing both sides by 0.8, which yields $\frac{65}{0.8}=Total_{tickets}=81.25$
