Hi there!
First, let's find the slope of the two points using the slope formula (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1).
S = 4 - 2 / 3 - 5
S = 2 / -2
S = -1
Next, we'll plug in the slope and a point into point-slope form (y - y1 = s(x - x1)) in order to find an equation. I will show the work using both points, which will result in two different equations.
(2,5)
y - 5 = -1(x - 2)
y - 5 = -x + 2
y = -x + 7
(4,3)
y - 3 = -1(x - 4)
y - 3 = -x + 4
y = -x + 7
The two equations came out the same! Which is completely okay, and happens sometimes.
Hope this helps!! :)

If the 3 is supposed to be replaced by any x's, then the answer would be 29 I believe.
Answer: $467.21
Step-by-step explanation:
8% of 600 = 48
600 - 48 = 552
8% of 552 = 44.16
552 - 44.16 = 507.84
8% of 507.84 = 40.6272
8% of 507.84 ≈ 40.63
507.84 - 40.63 = 467.21
