Answer:

$\$57.31$

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost would simply be given by multiplying the price by 1.027

1) Divide the tax (2.7%) by 100 and then, add 1 unit

$\frac{2.7}{100}=0.027+1\Rightarrow 1.027$

2) Multiply by the price ($55.80):

$1.027*\$55.8\approx \$57.31$

55.80 + 55.80 (.027) = 57.3066 or $57.31

Consider the following linear equation.y = -1-Step 1 of 2: Determine the slope and the y-intercept (entered as an ordered pair)

Dmitriy789 [7]

Recall that a slope-intercept form of a linear equation is

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{where} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}$

Rearrange the given so that it follows that slope intercept form

$\begin{gathered} y=-1-\frac{2}{5}x\Longrightarrow y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1 \\ \\ \text{Now that it is in the slope intercept form} \\ y=-\frac{2}{5}x-1 \\ \text{we can determine that the slope is } \\ m=-\frac{2}{5} \\ \text{and the y-intercept is} \\ b=-1 \end{gathered}$

The y-intercept is the value for which the linear function crosses the y-axis, this is when the value of x is equal to zero. The ordered pair therefore of the y-intercept is (0,-1).
