Answer:
12x -y = -87
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start with the 2-point form of the equation of a line and manipulate it to give you the standard form.
y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1
y = (-9 -3)/(-8 -(-7))(x -(-7)) +3
y = (-12/-1)(x +7) +3
y = 12x +84 +3
-12x +y = 87 . . . . . subtract the x-term
12x -y = -87 . . . . . . make the leading coefficient positive (per standard form)
The simplest interpretation would go a little something like this:
We know that we want the total donation amount to be more than $7,900, so we can set up this inequality to begin with

Where
D is the total donations raised (in dollars). How do we find D? Well, we just add up the total number of table reservations sold and the total number of single tickets sold. If we let
r stand for the number of reservation tickets and
s stand for the number of single tickets, then we have

So, the inequality representing this situation would be

And that would probably be fine for this problem.

The answers tell you the y-intercept is zero, so all you need to do is choose the appropriate slope. Since y/x = -4, ...
.. selection A is appropriate.
