Question 686011: hi! i have this math question and i kinda need some help so the question is (the value of y is six less than two-fifths x. represent this relationship using a table,an equation, and graph. use pencil and paper. write three other equations that model this relationship. do all for equations have the same graph?) and i think i know the equation y=mx%2Bb but i'm not sure and i need to fined the y for 5,10,and 15 and then i just get lost and have no ideal of what to do. so if you could help me that would be great thank you! o and it says that the order pair for 0 is (0,-6) thank you!

highlight_green%28y+=+%282%2F5%29x-6%29
This is the equation they are expressing
...
For the table, you are asked to solve for y with 5, 10 and 15, which are x
x | y
5
10
15
Plug in the x value to solve for y
y = %282%2F5%29%285%29+-+6+=+2+-+6+=+-4
so (5, - 4) is the pair
y = %282%2F5%29%2810%29+-+6+=+4+-+6+=+-2
so (10, -2) is the pair
y = %282%2F5%29%2815%29+-+6+=+6+-+6+=+0
so (15, 0) is the pair
...
The table would then be represented as
x | y
5 | -4
10 | -2
15 | 0
also given was the ordered pair (0, -6) which is the y intercept
0 | -6
...
Graph the coordinates/points (5, -4), (10, -2), (15,0) and (0, -6).
Draw a line through the points to create your graph.

The y=mx+b is the general slope-intercept format for a linear equation.
In this format, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
