Answer:
Final price = 1.06x
Step-by-step explanation:
If a city has a 6% general sales tax, then the total cost of any purchase will be the original price of an item plus 6%, as follows:
Final price = (x + 0.06x) = 1.06x
Therefore, the total cost of any purchase is 1.06 where 'x' represents the price of the items without taxes.
You can decide by seeing which one measures object better. you want to avoid using the incorrect unit because it can meaure it wrong or it won't be as accurate as the right unit
Hi there!
To start, we can use the two points to find the slope using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. Just sub in the points and solve!
-0.5-0.5/3-(-3)
-1/6
Sub that into the formula y-mx+b for m, and use one of the points for x and y - solve for b and you get your equation.
y=mx+b
y=-1/6x+b
0.5=-1/6*-3+b
0.5=-0.5+b
0.5+0.5=b
b=1
Therefore your equation is y=-1/6x+1
Hope this helps!
