A jacket is on sale for 20% off the regular price. The sale price ism$50.00. What is the regular price of the jacket?

7 0

Lets solve for x.

0.8x = 50. - Remember that the jacket was 80% of the original price.

Thus, divide by x.

x = 50 / 0.8
x = 62.5

Equation of a line:
$y=mx+c$

m = gradient: The difference between two y points and two x points.
$m= \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

c = y-intercept: Where the line crosses the y-axis (x=0)

You have:
$y=\textunderscore\textunderscore \ x + \textunderscore$
so you are missing the m and the c.

To calculate m find two y coordinates -you have (12, 7) and (0, 1)- and subtract them. Then divide this by the subtracted values of the x coordinates -you have (12, 7) and (0, 1)- This gives:

$m= \frac{7-1}{12-0}$
$m= \frac{6}{12}$
$m=0.5$

To calculate the c, you just see where the line crosses the y-axis. Because you have the point (0, 1), you know that when x=0, y=1. Because x=0 is on the y-axis, you can tell that the line passes through y=1. This makes your c = 1:

$c=1$

When you plug these values into the equation you get your answer:

$y=0.5x+1$
