Assume that the ciphertext us represents the plaintext word is$.$ Also, assume

that it was encrypted using a linear cipher. The numbering of the characters is

A$=1,$ B$=2,,$ Y $=25,$ Z $=0.$

Find the encryption function

y $=$ ax $+$ b mod $26$

which takes a plaintext letter as input and outputs the matching ciphertext

letter y$.$ Using the information from the this problem, solve for x in terms of y$.$ Use

this to help decrypt the message at the beginning of question $5.$
