Y = mx + c (m = gradient, c = y-intercept)
y = -2x + c
2 = (-2 x 6) + c
2 = -12 + c
2 + 12 = c
c = 14

y = -2x + 14

Try and find the common denominator which is 6 since 2×3 is 6 then once u get ur denominator u have to find the numerator which would be 4/6+3/6 And that would equal 7/6 and if you would u would keep it like that but if u would have to change it into a mixed fraction it would be 1 and 1/6

Complete question :

Each state imposes its own excise tax on gasoline. Suppose, for example, that the state of Massachusetts imposes a state gasoline tax of $0.26 per gallon. Suppose further that an average of 1,022,000 gallons of gasoline per day were sold in Massachusetts in 2010. The average revenue from gasoline tax in 2010 is approximately?

Answer:

$265,720

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

State gasoline tax = $0.26 per gallon

Average number of gasoline sold per day = 1,022,000 gallons

. From the availabke information given :

Revenue generated = gasoline tax per gallon multiplied by the average number of gallons sold

= $0.26 * 1,022,000

= $265,720
