Which line has a slope of -5/8 and goes through the point (2,-3)​

Mathematics

Kamila [148]4 years ago

Answer: y = -5x/3  - 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope and point form is given as

y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1})

where m is the slope

x_{1} = 2

y_{1} = -3

m = -5/8

Substituting into the formula , we have

y - ( -3 ) = -5/8 ( x - 2 )

y + 3 = -5x/8 + 5/4

This could also be written in slope - intercept form , that means we will make y the subject of the formula

y = -5x/8 + 5/4 - 3

y = -5x/3  - 7/4

For wages less than the maximum taxable wage base, Social Security contributions (including those for Medicare) by employees are
marin [14]

Answer:

y = 0.0765x

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

y is the total taxes paid.

x is the total wages earned.

The total taxes paid is a function of the total wages earned.

For wages less than the maximum taxable wage base, Social Security contributions (including those for Medicare) by employees are 7.65% of the employee's wages.

So 7.65% of the total wages earned are paid in taxes. We write the percentage as a decimal, so 7.65/100 = 0.0765

So the answer for a) is:

y = 0.0765x

4x=x+15

now we must solve the equation:

3x=15
