Since Zack wants to sell his car for 60% off the current price of $500, he has to multiply 0.60 (60% in decimal form) by $500, which equals $300. Now, the next step is very important. He has to subtract $500 from $300 since $300 is the amount OFF. Once he does that, he will get $200.

What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, 3) and (4, 5)

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

y = - 2x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 5)

m = $\frac{5-3}{4-5}$ = $\frac{2}{-1}$ = - 2, thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (4, 5), then

5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = - 2x + 13 ← equation of line
