You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (1,4) and has a slope of 3.
First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b
Where:
m is the slope, and
b is the y-intercept
To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was 3. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:
y=3x+b.
Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:
(1,4). When x of the line is 1, y of the line must be 4.

Sandra is a real estate agent and rams 5000 commission on the selling of a 62,000 house. what is the percent of commission she r

sveta [45]

To find a percent, you use this simple formula:
5000/62000 = x/100

In this case, x is going to be your percent of commission.

So, to find this, you first divide 5000 by 62000, which is about equal to 0.08.

Now your equation looks like this:
0.08 = x/100

Next, you multiply both sides by 100 to reverse the operation. Now, your equation will look like this:

8 = x

So, the answer is 8%.
