Answer:
Equation of a line has form of y = ax + b
This line passes (-8, 8) and (1, 10), then:
-8 = -8 x a + b
10 = a + b
Subtract 2nd equation to 1st equation, then:
18 = 9 x a
=> a = 2
=> b = 10 - 2 = 8
=> y = 2x + 8

Answer:
friend this is not a formula
Step-by-step explanation:
ax ± b = c. All problems like the following lead eventually to an equation in that simple form.
Jane spent $42 for shoes. This was $14 less than twice what she spent for a blouse. How much was the blouse?
Solution. Every word problem has an unknown number. In this problem, it is the price of the blouse. Always let x represent the unknown number. That is, let x answer the question.
Let x, then, be how much she spent for the blouse. The problem states that "This" -- that is, $42 -- was $14 less than two times x.
Here is the equation:
2x − 14 = 42.
2x = 42 + 14
= 56.
x = 56
2
= 28.
The blouse cost $28.
To solve this problem, we are going to use a method called dimensional analysis. This involves canceling out units by multiplying by fractions equivalent to 1. We begin with our given information, that the jet flies 500 miles in one hour, and we multiply that by the fraction 1 hour/60 minutes, which is equivalent to 1. We also have to multiply by 1 minute/60 seconds, because we are looking for the amount of miles the jet flies in seconds.
500 miles/1 hour * 1 hour/60 minutes * 1 minute/60 seconds = 500 miles/3,600 seconds
Now that we have our equivalent in seconds, we must multiply by 10 seconds in order to find our answer.
500 miles/3,600 seconds * 10 seconds = approximately 1.3888 miles
Therefore, the jet flies about 1.39 miles in 10 seconds.
