Expressing the equation in slope - intercept form. The equation which represents the gift card balance is y = - 12.5x + 150

Slope - intercept equation = y = bx + c

The slope, b :

  • (50 - 125) ÷ (8 - 2) = - 12.5

We can obtain the intercept, c :

Taking a pair of (x, y) points :

  • (8, 50)

50 = - 12.5(8) + c

50 = - 100 + c

c = 50 + 100

c = 150

Hence, the equation can be represented thus :

  • y = -12.5x + 150
