Answer:
yes it does
Step-by-step explanation:
because the equation y=9x does not have a y-intercept (all slopes come in the form y=mx+b -- it can be written differently though) and since there is no 'b' that means the y-intercept is 0. So whenever there is no y-intercept, the slope starts at 0.
Alright, the first thing we should have to do is find the total cost per year of his insurance. To do that, we multiply $96.21 by the 12 months in a year to get $1154.52. This is the cost of his insurance per year.
Next, we need to find out how much his boss covers, which we know is 85% of the total cost. SO what we can do is multiply the yearly cost ($1154.52) by the percent his boss covers (.85) to get $981.342. This is how much his boss covers per year.
Lastly, to find out how much Derek pays for insurance yearly, we just need to subtract how much his boss pays ($981.342) from the total yearly cost ($1154.52), which leaves us with $173.178, which is how much Derek pays yearly for his insurance, which should be your answer.
