There is an ample supply of identical blocks (as shown). Each block is constructed from four 1 × 1 × 1 unit-cubes glued whole-fa
ce to whole-face. What is the greatest number of such blocks that can be packed into a box that is 6 units tall, 7 units wide, and 8 units deep without exceeding the height of the box?

y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
To find the slope, you can use the slope formula and plug in the two points:
(3,63) = (x₁ , y₁)
(5,107) = (x₂, y₂)
m = 22
Now that you know m = 22, plug it into the equation:
y = mx + b
y = 22x + b
To find "b", plug in one of the points into the equation (I will do both points)
(3,63)
y = 22x + b
63 = 22(3) + b
63 = 66 + b Subtract 66 on both sides
-3 = b
(5,107)
y = 22x + b
107 = 22(5) + b
107 = 110 + b Subtract 110 on both sides
-3 = b
y = 22x - 3
