Here is the answer from SparkNotes

Explanation:
1. Identify the different constellations of variables. Here there are three:
2. Combine coefficients of each of the different variable constellations:
(8.1 -2.8)b +(6.7 +0.9)a +(2.5 +7)
5.3b +7.8a +9.5
3. Perform any other operations that might be required depending on the sort of equivalent wanted. For example, one could write ...
5.3(b +(78/53)a) +9.5 . . . . . . . shows the weight of a relative to b
<h2>y + 1 = -3(x - 10)</h2>
Here's the formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Substitute numbers accordingly:
y1: so 1 goes in the y1 spot (you switch the signs because it was already negative)
x1: and 10 goes to the x1 spot
m: -3 belongs in m
Ok, so this is a simple problem
since its 7/8 of the price now, you do $43 divided by 8 to get the unit rate...
5.375 which rounds up to $5.38.
now since theres only 7/8, do 5.38x7 and your answer will be $37.66
Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b
4y=6x+24
y=6/4x+6
y=3/2x+6
