Step-by-step explanation:
Line is passing through the points:
Equation of line in two point form is given as:
First, we subtract 20% of the amount from x, so the initial cost of the furniture should be 80% of x or 0.80x. Then, due to the sales taxs, this amount should be added with 6.25% of itself. Such that,
A = 0.80x + 0.0625(0.80x)
= 0.85x
This is going to be an long answer, so I'm putting the answer first. y=3x-7
First, you have to find the equation of the line given. You can use point slope form for that. You can see that the slope is -1/3, and it goes through (2,2). So, the equation would be
y-2=-1/3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=-1/3x+8/3
Now, we can get on to finding the actual answer. The slope of a line perpendicular would be the negative reciprocal of the original slope. That just means you flip it and multiply it by -1. So, the slope of the new line is 3. Now you can use point slope form again and make an equation, which is
y+1=3(x-2)
Which simplifies to
y=3x-7
Please don't ask me why the slope is the negative reciprocal, or how they came up with the formula for the point slope form. I DON'T KNOW. If you want to know so bad you would give up chick-fil-A for the rest of your life, there's always google.
Answer:
first you'd need to divide 7.50 by 6 which will get you (7.50÷6=1.25) then you would need to multiply 1.25 by 50 which will get you $62.50 (1.25×50=62.5).
