ANSWER: the amount an individual earns after subtracting all expenses, taxes and costs.
(4,3)(2,2)
slope = (2 - 3) / (2 - 4) = -1/-2 = 1/2
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 1/2
use either of ur sets of points...(4,3)...x = 4 and y = 3
now we sub and find b, the y int
3 = 1/2(4) + b
3 = 2 + b
3 - 2 = b
1 = b
so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 1 <==
40 x 8.50 = 340
340 x .0765 = 26.01
So the employer should withhold $26.01 from her check for social security.
