Solve for the slope / y-intercept and the equation ​

Slope = -3, Y-intercept = -2, y = -3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

There are multiple points plotted on the graph, but right now, we only need to focus on two.

(-2, 4) (-1, 1)

Using the ordered pairs, do delta y/ delta x to get the slope

(1-4)/(-1-(-2)

(-3)/(-1+2)

(-3)/(1)

Slope = -3

y = -3x + b

As shown on the graph, the y-intercept is -2. It is when x = 0

So, for the equation, substitute the found values.

y = -3x -2

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
