Our goal is to fit the given information into the slope-intercept form.
y=mx+b
We can place the slope in 'm.'
y= -7x+b
Then, input the values for the x and y.
2= -7(-5)+b
2=35+b
b=2-35
b= -33
'b' is the intercept, so now that we know that, we can plug in all the values and find our final equation.
y= -7x -33
That would be 13/10 or 1 3/10
$6.
You can get this by dividing the original number by 3 and then the new answer by 2.
