Solving linear equation mean calculating the unknown variable from the equation.

Let the linear equation : y = mx + c

If we draw the above equation on Cartesian Coordinates , it will be a straight line with :

<em>m → gradient of the line</em>

<em>( 0 , c ) → y - intercept</em>

Gradient of the line could also be calculated from two arbitrary points on line ( x₁ , y₁ ) and ( x₂ , y₂ ) with the formula :

$\large {\boxed{m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}}}$

If point ( x₁ , y₁ ) is on the line with gradient m , the equation of the line will be :

$\large {\boxed{y - y_1 = m ( x - x_1 )}}$

<em>Let us tackle the problem!</em>

$\texttt{ }$

This problem is about Directly Proportional.

<em>There were 8 engineers under every team leader.</em>

$\texttt{1 Team Leader} \rightarrow \texttt{8 engineers}$

$\texttt{15 Team Leader} \rightarrow 15 \times \texttt{8 engineers} = \boxed{\texttt{120 engineers}}$

$\texttt{ }$

<em>There were 5 project managers for every 50 engineers.</em>

$\texttt{50 engineers} \rightarrow \texttt{5 project managers}$

$\texttt{120 engineers} \rightarrow (120 \div 50) \times \texttt{5 project managers} = \boxed{\texttt{12 project managers}}$
