Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First I just made -2/5 into a decimal because I like to work with decimals better (which equals -.4)
Then I times everything separately in the parenthesis and got -8x+6
Next you move the 6 over to the left side of the equals sign which would make the equation be -6 = -8x
Lastly you divide the -8 from -6 and you get X = 3/4
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope-intercept formula:
where m is slope and b the y-intercept.

Use the slope formula for when you have two points:

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Insert values:

Simplify parentheses (negative+negative=positive)

Simplify

2 is the slope:

Now use one of the points to find the y-intercept by substituting the x and y values into the equation. Solve for b:
(4,7)


The y-intercept is -1. Insert into the equation. Change the + symbol to -:

Done.
