Equation of a line is given by y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is any point on the line.
y - (-2) = 4(x - 3)
y + 2 = 4x - 12
y = 4x - 12 - 2
y = 4x - 14
Ok so x is the original price and we want to solve if the original price was 48 so x=48. When we substitute this into the equation we get 0.75(48)-0.15(0.75x48). When we simplify this expression we get 30.6. The current price is $30.60. Hope this helps.
If I understand the question correctly, you can have the same amount of change be two different percentages by having 4 quarters and 100 pennies.
Each quarter is 25%
Each penny is 1%
(am i explaining this right)
D, you have to factor 3 out of 6x squared
