Answer:
Profit % = 39%
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost price of the article = 9
Price for repairing = 4
Therefore, Total cost of the article = 9 + 4 = 13
Selling price of the article = 18
Profit = 18 - 13 = 5
Hence,
Profit percent (to the nearest %) = 39%

Answer:
y = 4/5x +13/5
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is given by the formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (5 -1)/(3 -(-2)) = 4/5
The y-intercept is given by the formula ...
b = y -mx . . . . for any point (x, y)
b = 1 -(4/5)(-2) = 1 +8/5 = 13/5 . . . . using the first point
So, the equation is ...
y = mx +b
y = 4/5x +13/5

<em>Additional comment</em>
If you have a bunch of these to do, you may want to make a spreadsheet with the formulas built in. Then you can type in the two points and have it spit out the m and b for your equation. Even if you don't use it to <em>do</em> the work, you can use it to <em>check</em> the work.
