For​ example, a batter in baseball might be considered to be in a​ slump, or cold​ streak, if that player has made 10 outs in 10 consecutive​ at-bats. Suppose that a hitter successfully reaches base 37​% of the time he comes to the plate.

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
