Answer:
$20.85 less.
Step-by-step explanation:
City sales:
7% tax = 48.65
total bed cost = $743.65
Nearby City:
4% tax = 27.8
total bed cost = $722.8
city sale - nearby city
743.65 - 722.8
=20.85
The correct answer is option A. Erica is correct in saying that the two lines are not necessarily the same and we should also look at the y-intercepts before determining how many solutions there were. <span>Two lines with equal slopes could be the same line, but only if they have the same y-intercept.</span>
The slope would be 1/17 and then you would use that slope and plug it into the y=mx+b and solve for b
