B. y=12x+7
Explanation
The slope is 12; slope=m
The yint is 7; yint=b
The equation of a line is set up as so
y=mx+b
Now we just need to replace the variables with the numbers
y=12x+7
The answer to the question above is option D: <span>18/ 9-a. If we try to analyze the word phrase above, this is the algebraic expression that matches it. When we say quotient, this is the number or the result of the division between two numbers. So the quotient of 18 and 9, this means that the answer of 18 divided by 9. And then, less than a. Less than a here means subtraction or minus. Therefore, this makes -a. </span>
Given that Megan's tax rates were as follows:
<span>No tax one the first £11000 of earnings
</span><span>Earnings in excess of £11000 and up to £43000 taxed at a rate of 20%
</span><span>Earning in excess of 43000 and up to £150000 taxed at a rate of 40%
</span>Earnings over £150000 taxed at a rate of 45%
If Megan earned £158900 before tax last year, the amount of tax she paid in total is given as follows:
First <span>£11000 = </span><span>£0 tax
</span>Balance after first <span>£11000 = </span><span>£158900 - </span><span>£11000 = </span><span>£147900
</span>
Next (<span>£43000 - </span><span>£11000 = </span><span>£32000) = 20% of </span><span>£32000 = 0.2 x </span><span>£32000 = </span>£6400 tax
Balance after next <span>£32000 = </span><span>£147900 - </span><span>£32000 = </span><span><span>£115000</span> </span>
Next (<span>£150000 - </span><span>£43000 = </span><span>£107000) = 40% of </span><span>£107000 = 0.4 x </span><span>£107000 = </span><span>£42800 tax</span>
Balance after next <span>£107000 = </span><span>£115000 - </span><span>£107000 = </span><span>£8000</span>
Remaiming <span>£8000 = 45% of </span><span>£8000 = 0.45 x </span><span>£8000 = </span><span>£3600 tax</span>
Total tax = <span>£6400 + </span><span>£42800 + </span><span>£3600 = </span><span>£52800
Therefore, she paid a total of </span><span>£52800 in tax last year.</span>
Put this into slope intercept form.
y = 6 - x becomes y = -x + 6
"m" is the coefficient on x: -1
"c" is the number without the x: 6
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First, subtract 6 from both sides
-4x + 6 (-6) = -38 (-6)
-4x = -38 - 6
-4x = -44
Next, fully isolate the x by dividing -4 from both sides
(-4x)/-4 = (-44)/-4
x = -44/-4
x = 11
11 is your answer for x.
