You have 10 dollars to spend at a carnival.  Games cost $0.75 each.  Write an equation in y=mx+b form to express how much money you have left (y) after playing x games.

 How much money do you have after playing eight games? 

equation:  y=-0.75x +10

y = -0.75(8) + 10   ; y = -6 + 10   ; y = 4

 $4 dollars left after playing 8 games.
