Y=mx+b m- slope b- y-intercept(where the line crosses the y axis)
31=.5(15)+b plug in your values
31=7.5+b simplify
23.5=b subtract 7.5 from both sides and your given b
y=.5x+23.5 plug everything into slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

Lets start with the slope intercept form to help find b using the slope given and the point given.

y=mx+b
(31)=.5(15)+b substitution
31=7.5+b
31-7.5=7.5-7.5+b additive inverse
23.5=b

Now we can substitute in the slope that was give m=.5 and the y-intercept(b) we found b=23.5:

y=.5x+23.5 (this is your answer)

Walmart has jeans on sale for $42.89 the regular price is $59.99 what’s the savings before tax

kumpel [21]

59.99 - 59.99 x saving rate = 42.89

with saving rate = r%

59.99 - 59.99 x r% = 42.89

so 59,99 ( 1 - r%) = 42.89

1 - r% = 42.89 : 59.99

1 - r% = 0,7150

r% = 1 - 0,7150

r = 28,5%
