We can use the equation: y=mx+b
x represents the x-value, y represents the y-value, m represents slope, and b represent the y-intercept.
We must plug in what we know in order to find the value of b.
32 = 1.5*21 + b
32 = 31.5 + b
So b = 0.5
Now we know our equation is y = 1.5x + 0.5
We can find any other point on the line by plugging in any x-value. Let's try 5.
y = 1.5*5 + 0.5
So y =8 and our point is (5,8)
The decimal is moved to the front to three spaces

Answer:
Painting USA is cheaper. They cost $700 dollars. The other place costs $1,000 dollars
Both 17/10 and 2 4/5 should be rounded up in preparation for this estimation.
17/10 is close to 2 and 2 4/5 is close to 3. Thus, your estimated answer should be
2/3, or approx. 0.6666....
Exact answer: divide 17/10 by 14/5. LCD is 10, so convert 14/5 to 28/10.
Now divide 17/10 by 28/10. Answer: 17/28 = approx. = 0.607 approx.
These two results are comparable: 0.6666.... and 0.6071 ....
