Answer: No solutions exist because the situation describes two lines that have the same slope and different y-intercepts.
Slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (10 - 7)/(2 --1)
m = 3/3
m = 1
To find the equation
y = mx + b
m is slope
y = 1x + b
plug in one of the equations to solve for b
10 = 1(2) + b
10 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
8 = b
The equation is
y = 1x + 8
or you can write it as
y = x + 8
Hope this helps
Assuming n is the number of signers.
7 is 10% of y.
7 = 0.1y
y = 70
n is 80% of y
n = 0.8y
n = 0.8(70)
n = 56
56 signers
