I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?

$18,617.75 is the answer
$87,525-$77,100=$10,425 (the amount over $77,100)
$10,425 x .28=$2,919 (the 28% taxed amount over $77,100)
$2,919+$15,698.75 (the already taxed amount in the chart)=$18,617.75
Answer:
Pretty sure it's A
Step-by-step explanation:
The x outside the parenthesis means that there's an x intercept at (0,0) and (x-3) means there's another one at (3,0)
The volume becomes 1/3 of the original. With a rectangular base, volume of a pyramid is V=(length*width*height)/3. Cutting the height to 1/3 of the original length will make the total volume 1/3 of the original volume.
