Tax=tax rate times cost of product
tax=17.50
cost of product=250
17.50=rate times 250
divide both sides by 250
17.50/250=rate
0.07=rate
percent means parts out of 100
0.07/1 times 100/100=7/100=7%
7%=rate

answer is 7% tax

How do I convert standard form to point slope

Fittoniya [83]

The point-slope form:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$(x_1,\ y_1)$ - given point

$m$ - given slope

The standard form:

$Ax+By=C$

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ use distributive property

$y-y_1=mx-mx_1$ add $y_1$ to both sides

$y=mx-mx_1+y_1$ subtract $mx$ from both sides

$-mx+y=-mx_1+y_1$ change the signs

$mx-y=mx_1-y_1$

HELP ASAP PLEASEEEEEEEEEE

Andrew [12]

Given the recursive formula, each terms is five time the previous one.

This means that:

$f(6)$ is 5 times $f(5)$ , which means $f(6)=5f(5)$
in turn, $f(5)$ is 5 times $f(4)$ , so we have $f(5)=5f(4)$ . This means that $f(6)=5f(5)=5\cdot 5f(4) = 25f(4)$
Finally, $f(4)=5f(3)$ So, substituting this back gives
