Question

Y=99.99+23.75(x-1) as a Y=ax+b equation

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 23.75x + 76.24$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to rewrite

$y = 99.99 + 23.75(x - 1)$

in the form

$y = ax + b$

We expand to get:

$y = 99.99 + 23.75x - 23.75$

Regroup similar terms:

$y = 23.75x - 23.75 + 99.99$

Simplify:

$y = 23.75x + 76.24$

This is now of the form

$y = ax + b$

where a=23.75 and b=76.24
