Answer:
The original price of socks was $8.
Step-by-step explanation:
James buys a shirt and a pair of socks on sale for 25% off.
The price of the shirt before the sale was $24 that means after discount the price was:
= $18
And James paid a total of $24.
That means the price of socks after discount is = = $6
Let the original price of socks be x. And after 25% discount, it was for $6.
So,
=>
x = 8.
Hence, the original price of socks was $8.
We're given a point that the line intersects and its slope.
Let's use Point-slope:-
y1 = -5
m=-5
x1=-1
Convert to slope-intercept:-
