5/8 of votes were for blue, 5/9 of the remaining votes were for green and remaining 48 votes were for red. how many votes were for blue?

5/8 this is because the story says 5/8 votes were blue.

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!

The answer to your question is 1/9
