-5/12 would be the answer
solve for "y" so it is in the form y = mx + b. "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.
ax + by = c
by = -ax + c <em>subtracted "ax" from both sides</em>
y = (-a/b)x + c/b <em>divided both sides by "b"</em>
Answer: slope is -a/b and y-intercept is c/b
Answer:
500
Step-by-step explanation:
STEP 1:
find the sales tax (decimal form)
x= sales tax
Cost + (Cost * Sales Tax)= Total
plug in known numbers
$9.40 + ($9.40 * x)= $9.87
9.40 + 9.40x= 9.87
subtract 9.40 from both sides
9.40x= 0.47
divide both sides by 9.40
x= 0.47/9.40
x= 0.05 sales tax decimal form
STEP 2:
find sales tax percentage
= 0.05 * 100
or move decimal to the right two decimal places
= 5% sales tax percent form
ANSWER: The sales tax is 5% (or 0.05 in decimal form)
Hope this helps! :)
