To find the rate of change, or slope, pick two points. The slope, is change in y coordinates over change in x coordinates.

.
In this case, the slope is

.
Remember that subtracting a negative number equals adding the number without the negative sign.
a-(-b) = a+b
Now for the y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the graph intersects the y-axis, where x = 0.
You have the coordinate (0, -1), where x = 0. So the y-intercept is -1.
Putting these values into the slope-intercept form y = mx+b, the equation is
y = -5x - 1
450=50x this should be correct :)
Answer:
Purchase Price = $150 and Total Price = $162
Step-by-step explanation:
Purchase price = Tax Amount / Tax Percentage (as decimal)
Purchase Price = $12 / .08
Purchase Price = $150
Total Price = Purchase Price + Tax
Total Price = 150 + 12 = $162
I hope this helps!

the slope goes by several names
• average rate of change
• rate of change
• deltaY over deltaX
• Δy over Δx
• rise over run
• gradient
• constant of proportionality
