Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
Slope formula: 
Given points: (3, -7), (7, 2)
(3, -7) = (x1, y1)
(7, 2) = (x2, y2)
To write the equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b) of the equation.
First, let's find the slope. To do this, input the given points into the slope formula:

Simplify:
2 - (-7) = 2 + 7 = 9
7 - 3 = 4

The slope is
.
To find the y-intercept, input the slope and one of the given points(in this example I'll use point (7, 2)) into the equation and solve for b:



The y-intercept is
.
Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

Answer:
A: Tax paid us $1370
B: Total cost= car cost + taxes
$27,400+ $1370
=$28,770
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
