Explanation:

To determine the slope and y-intercept of the equation, let us plot the coordinates in the slope-intercept form.

Analyzing the graph, some of the points that are on the straight line is (1,0),(3,5), (9,20)

Let us consider the points (1,0),(3,5) to determine the slope.

\begin{aligned}m &=\frac{5-0}{3-1} \\&=\frac{5}{2} \\&=2.5\end{aligned}

Since, the profit is earned in thousands of dollars, m = 2.5 or m = 2500

Thus, slope = 2500

To determine the y- intercept, let us substitute any one of the coordinate from the graph.

Thus, let us substitute (1,0) in the equation y=mx+b to determine the y-intercept.

0=2500(1)+b\\

Simplifying, we have,

b=-2500

Hence, the line of best fit equation is y=2500x-2500

15 = -4p + 7<br><br><br> solving equation
Ratling [72]

Answer:

p = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

15 = -4p + 7

4p + 15 = 7

4p + 15 - 15 = 7 - 15

4p = -8

4p/4 = -8/4

p = -2

George had $1,201.87 in taxable income for the last pay period. If the federal income tax rate was 15%, how much did George pay
Hatshy [7]
Just multiply the income by .15

1201.87 * .15 = 180.28

He paid $180.28

It could be a trick question though because he didnt have a lot of income so maybe he didn't pay any taxes.. I've heard that's a thing
