154.35 - 10.37 = 143.98
143.98 - 27.83 = 116.15
10.37 = 116.15x
x = 0.0893

Change x to percent form to get 8.93% tax rate.

Write an equation for a line that is parallel to 2x+5y=15 and passes through the point (-10, 3)

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The equation of the line is,

$y = - \frac{2}{5} x - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to write it in a form of y = mx + b :

$2x + 5y = 15$

$5y = 15 - 2x$

$y = 3 - \frac{2}{5} x$

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 5$

When both lines are parallel to each other, they will have to same gradient value. So the equation of the line is y = (-2/5)x + b. Next, you have to find the value of b by substutituting (-10,3) into the equation :

$y = - \frac{ 2}{5}x + b$

$let \: x = - 10,y = 3$

$3 = - \frac{2}{5} ( - 10) + b$

$3 = 4 + b$

$3 - 4 = b$

$b = - 1$
