Answer:

$y=\frac{4}{5}x+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

You'll need to get this equation in slope-intercept form by solving for y. I do a little extra here to get it in the correct form, but I think it's pretty clear. Let me know if I need to clarify.

$\\\\\frac{8x}{5}-2y=-8\\\\-2y=-\frac{8x}{5}-8\\\\2y=\frac{8x}{5}+8\\\\y=\frac{4}{5}x+4$

Once it's in slope-intercept form, both the slope and the y-intercept are readily available so you can easily graph it. I graphed both of them in the attached image so you can see that they are the same line.

Answer:

$x=8\frac34\ \,,\quad y=8\frac12$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\Delta TRS\sim \Delta LJK \quad\implies\quad \dfrac{|TR|}{|LJ|}=\dfrac{|RS|}{|JK|}=\dfrac{|ST|}{|KL|}\\\\\dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{6}{y+2}\\\\\\\dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{5}{x}\quad\implies\quad4x=5\cdot7\quad\implies\quad x=\dfrac{35}4=8\frac34\\\\\\\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{6}{y+2}\quad\implies\quad 5(y+2)=6\cdot\dfrac{35}4\\\\5y+10=3\cdot\dfrac{35}2\\\\5y\ =\ \dfrac{3\cdot35}2-10\\ \div5\qquad\quad \div5\\\\y=\dfrac{3\cdot7}2-2=10\frac12-2=8\frac12$
