also i think youve lost your x in your working

mortal quail
#

Wdym

devout grail
#

well like after you find c you have

#

y = -1/(3.5) + 3.4

#

which is just y = some number

#

actually lets just go back a bit because i think theres some other issues with your working

mortal quail
#

But it says it wants it in the form ax +by=c where a b and c are integers

devout grail
#

it does

mortal quail
#

So it cant be decimals

devout grail
#

so i dont agree with your gradient

mortal quail
#

Is it -1/12.25

devout grail
#

nope

#

in fact you dont need to use 12.25 or 3.5 in it

mortal quail
#

I swear its the negative reciprocal of the radius

devout grail
#

not of the radius

#

well its

#

the negative reciprocal of the gradient of your radius

#

3.5 is just the length of the radius

mortal quail
#

Ohhhh

#

So u do change in y / change in x

devout grail
#

yep

mortal quail
#

-3/4 then

devout grail
#

yep

#

so you gotta find c again

mortal quail
#

Yh

#

C= 1.225

mortal quail
devout grail
#

Where’s x

#

You want y = mx+c

mortal quail
#

Yh it was a typo

devout grail
#

Ok cool

mortal quail
#

-3/4x+1.225

devout grail
#

Yep

#

Now turning those into integers

#

What do you think

#

How might we get rid of a divide by 4

mortal quail
#

Multiply by 4 but that will still keep value for c as a decimal

devout grail
#

It will but let’s do it anyway

#

What will we get after multiplying everything by 4

mortal quail
#

4y = -3x + 4.9

devout grail
#

Ok

#

Can you write 4.9 as a fraction?

mortal quail
#

49/10

devout grail
#

Ok

#

And how do you undo

mortal quail
#

Multiply by 10

devout grail
#

Perfect

mortal quail
devout grail
#

Voila

tired lintel
#

@mortal quail @devout grail 6x + 8y = 35 this should be your answer.

devout grail

#

u still need help?

mortal quail
#

Yh

tired lintel
mortal quail
#

I don’t understand how you got that value for c

#

I keep getting 1.225
