Answer:

Equation: y = 2x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If the line is parallel to the line resembling the equation y = 2x - 4, it would mean that the line would have a similar slope, leading to part of the equation:

y = 2x

Now substitute the x-coordinate -2 and y-coordinate 3 into the equation * (derived from (-2, 3) ):

3 = 2(-2)

Now simplify either side:

3 = -4

For 3 to equal -4, you would have to add 7:

3 = -4 + 7 = 3

This means the final equation is:

y = 2x + 7

(Sorry if this isn't the way you expected to solve the question)

The tax rate as a percent, r, charged on an item can be determined using the formula 100( – 1) = r, where c is the final cost of

ELEN [110]

The question is asking us to calculate the final cost of the item after the tax is applied. The price of item before the tax is: P = $40 and the tax rate as a percent is 8%. It means that r = 0.08. And the formula is: C = P * ( 1 + r ). Finally: C = $40 * ( 1 + 0.08 ) = $40 * 1.08 = $43.20. Answer: The final cost is $43.20.
