Answer:
y = 2/3x + 1 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Plug in the points:
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(2 - 0) / (1 + 2)
2 / 3
= 2/3
Then, plug in the slope and a point into y = mx + b to solve for b:
y = mx + b
2 = 2/3(1) + b
2 = 2/3 + b
1 1/3 = b
Plug in the slope and y intercept into y = mx + b
y = 2/3x + 1 1/3 is the equation of the line
Since sale is 40% so the price is 60%
61*(60%) = 36.6
the tax is 5%
so the price after tax is: 36.6 * (1 +5%) = $38.43
