Aline passes through the points (5,4) and (2.1). part a.) what is the slope of the line that passes through these points? show work. part b.) what is the equation of the line that passes through these points. show work. part c.) where does the line intercept on the x& y axis? show work

(5,4) on a math coordinate plane. You have to graph from the numbers and it is always x first, so 5 on the x coordinate plane and 4 on the y.

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.
