The slope is negative one
The formula for slope intercept form is y=mx+b where x is the slope and b is the y intercept. To find the slope you would have to do -2-7 over 8-0 and that would give you -9/8. That would be your slope. And I think you should be given a graph I’m not sure but if there is look at it and see what point you see on the y axis
So if 18 + x =43, then what you need to do is
18 + x =43
-18 -18
——————
x = 25
because whatever you do to one side, you need to do to the other
$3.29*0.65(because you're paying 65% of the original price)
$2.14(this answer is rounded up to 2.14. if you don't round, it is 2.13)
