(-1,8) and (5,6) are points on the line.
Slope of line = (8-6)/(-1-5) = 2/(-6) = -⅓
y-6 = -⅓(x-5)
y = -⅓x + 5/3 + 6 = -⅓x + 7⅔

Answer:
21.42 cloves of garlic
Step-by-step explanation:
50 ÷ 7 = 7.14
7.14 x 3 = 21.42
Ax + 3 = 7 - bx .....add bx to both sides
ax + bx + 3 = 7 ...subtract 3 from each side
ax + bx = 7 - 3
ax + bx = 4 ....factor out x
x(a + b) = 4 ...divide both sides by (a + b)
x = 4 / (a + b) <==
