15% / 100 = 0.15. 15% = 0.15 in decimal form.
Now, all you need to do is multiply $130 by the decimal form of the percentage.
$130 * 0.15 = $19.50. Here tip was $19.50. Always remember that you can divide the percentage by 100 to find its decimal form.

Answer: D. $y+4=(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation: Once you subtract $4$ from both sides, in order to solve for y (as the equation needs to be in the slope-intercept form, otherwise known as $y=mx+b$ ), you end up with $y=x-2$ , which is the right answer. It is the correct answer because the y-intecept shown in the equation matches what is on the graph, in addition to the fact that the slope is just $x$ .
