the equation is y = mx ( where m is the slope / constant of variation )
calculate m using the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁) = (0, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 1) ← 2 points on the line
m =

Answer: The discounted price is $948. The value of the discount itself is $632.
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>To calculate discounts, you multiply the percentage of the discount as a decimal with the price of the product.
In this particular case:
0.40 [percentage of discount] x $1580 [original cost] = $632 (the amount of the discount) </h3><h3>$1580 - $632 = $698 [new price after discount is applied]</h3>
12.3 or 12 3/10
4.5 + 7.8 = 12.3
or
4 10/20 + 7 16/20 = 11 26/20
11 26/20 can be simplified to 12 6/20 and further simplified to 12 3/10
