Answer:

Option C is correct.

The equation f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4 represents the function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using slope intercept form to find the equation of line :

For any two points (x_1, y_1) and  (x_2, y_2) the equation of line is given by:

y -y _1 = m(x-x_1) ......[1] ;where m is the slope given by:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Consider any two points from table :

let (4, 2) and (0, 4) be any two points.

calculate slope:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}= \frac{4-2}{0-4}

m = \frac{2}{-4} = -\frac{1}{2}

Now, substitute in equation [1]  we have:

y - 2 = -\frac{1}{2} (x-4)

Distributive property i.e,  a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b + a\cdot c

y -2 = -\frac{1}{2}x +2

Add both sides 2 we get;

y -2+2 = -\frac{1}{2}x+2+2

Simplify:

y = -\frac{1}{2}x+4

Since, y= f(x)

f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4

therefore, the equation f(x)= -\frac{1}{2}x +4 represents the function.

If the tax rate is 9.5%. determine how much tax you will need to pay on your order
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

In order to calculate the sales tax of an item, we need to first multiply the pre-tax cost of the item by the sales tax percentage after it has been converted into a decimal. Once the sales tax has been calculated it needs to be added to the pre-tax value in order to find the total cost of the item.
