Remember that if there is a 25% discount, then the amount you are paying represents 75%. We know the original price (ie 100%)
There are several methods.
Simplest: Find 25% of the$40 and subtract to find the price to be paid.

Answer:

The equation would be y = -2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is put it in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (for example, the equation y= 2x + 1 has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 1.)

Since you have slope, or m, = -2 and the y-intercept, or b, = 1, the equation would be y = -2x + 1
