Answer:
A linear equation in the slope-intercept form is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Now, we know that the rate of change (the slope) is -5
Then we just replace a by -5
y = -5*x + b
Now we also know that this line passes through a point, and the point is (3, 0)
This means that the point (3, 0) is a solution for the line equation, so when x = 3, we also have y = 0.
Replacing these values in our equation we get:
0 = -5*3 + b
0 = -15 + b
15 = b
Now we know the value of b, so we can replace it in the line equation to get:
y = -5*a + 15
Which is the complete equation of the line.
C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.
Negative! 1st and 4th box is negative.
