Thw answer to your Problem would be A
I assume by starting value, you mean y-intercept. The y-intercept is 15
To find this, we need to use slope intercept form and the given information to find it.
y = mx + b ----> plug in the known values
9 = -3/4(8) + b
9 = -6 + b
15 = b
Therefore, the starting value is 15.
So just add 1/8 and 2/8. add 1 plus 2 and the denominator (bottom number) stays the same so you get 3/8 then subtract 8/8 minus 3/8 so just 8 minus 3 is 5 and the denominator stays the same so you end up with 5/8 so 5/8 of the book remains unread
