First, determine the difference between the amount Percy paid and the price of the basketball. That is, $24.10 - $22.99 = $1.11. Divide this value by the price of the basketball and multiply the quotient by 100% to get the tax rate. 
                            ($1.11 / $22.99) x 100% = 4.8%
Thus, the sales tax is approximately equal to 4.8%.

Write an equation of a line parallel to y = 5x + 4 that passes through (-1, 2)
nikitadnepr [17]

The equation of a line parallel to y = 5x + 4 that passes through (-1 , 2) is y = 5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel lines have:

  • Same slopes
  • Different y-intercepts

The form of the linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept

∵ The equation of the given line is y = 5x + 4

∴ m = 5 and b = 4

∵ The two lines are parallel

∴ Their slopes are equal

∴ The slope of the parallel line = 5

- Substitute the value of the slope in the form of the equation

∴ y = 5x + b

- To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of any point on the line

∵ The parallel line passes through point (-1 , 2)

∴ x = -1 and y = 2

∵ 2 = 5(-1) + b

∴ 2 = -5 + b

- Add 5 to both sides

∴ 7 = b

- Substitute the value of b in the equation

∴ y = 5x + 7

The equation of a line parallel to y = 5x + 4 that passes through (-1 , 2) is y = 5x + 7
