Mathematics

Answer:

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

y = mx + b

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Two points:

We have these following two points in this exercise:

x = -6, y = -3, so (-6,-3)

x = 4, y = 3, so (4,3)

Finding the slope:

Given two points, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x.

Change in y: 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6

Change in x: 4 - (-6) = 4 + 6 = 10

So

m = \frac{6}{10} = 0.6

Then

y = 0.6x + b

Finding b:

We replace one of the points in the equation to find b. I will use (4,3).

y = 0.6x + b

3 = 0.6*4 + b

2.4 + b = 3

b = 0.6

The equation of the line is: y = 0.6x + 0.6

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial price of the swimsuit that Karla purchased at Amazon was 75.5

she use the coupon code to receive a 25% discount. This means that the value if the discount would be

25/100 × 75.5 = 0.25× 75.5 = 18.86

Therefore, the discounted price of the swimsuit is 75.5 - 18.875 = 56.625

The website applied a 10% service fee for the discount price. This means that the value of the service fee would be

10/100 × 56.625 = 0.1 × 56.625 = 5.6625.

The amount that Karla pays for the swimsuit would be

56.625 + 5.6625 = 62.2875

The difference between the original price and the price that Karla paid would be 75.5 - 62.2875 = 13.2125

The percentage by which the amount that Karla paid was lesser than the original price would be

13.2125/ 75.5 × 100 = 17.5%
