Five times the same of a number.

Sherry purchased a new backpack for her daughter. The backpack was on sale for 20% off the regular price. If Sherry paid $28.80

madreJ [45]

28.80 + .20X = X

.20X = X - 28.80

1/5 = .20

X/5 = X -28.80

X = 5X - 144

Set the new X equal to the original X

28.80 + .20X = 5X - 144

172.8 + .20X = 5X

172.8 = 4.8X

36 = X

36$ is the original price

To check,

28.80 + (.20 x 36) = 36

28.80 + 7.2 = 36

36 = 36

First, we have to understand the slope-intercept form.

$\large \boxed{y = mx + b}$

A linear function/equation has three forms and the slope-intercept is one of the form. It is also commonly used in Function topic while the other two forms are commonly used in Analytic Geometry.

In the slope-intercept form, the m-term represents the slope while b-term represents the y-intercept of a graph.

Which equation represents a linear function that has a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of -6.

As you notice the bold, italic and underlined words in the question that I quoted or rewrote. I've just explained that the slope is m-term and y-intercept is b-term.

Therefore, substitute m = 5 and b = -6 in the equation.

$\large{y = mx + b \longrightarrow \bold{y = 5x + ( - 6)}} \\ \large \boxed{ \tt{ \purple{y = 5x - 6}}}$

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions regarding the linear function, don't hestitate to ask. Good luck with your assignment and have a nice day!
