Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the line by using the slope formula, 
. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:
So, the slope is 
.
2) Now, use the point-slope formula 
to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute real values for the 
, 
, and 
in the formula.
Since represents the slope, substitute in its place. Since and represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (0, -7), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the following answer:
28/36 will be your answer which can be simplified into 14/18 which can be simplified again to 7/9 and that's your final answer
5) all you have to do is calculate which would be 2.9166...
6) 65.898
Probably Erica is charging 150% of the first month of rental/leasing an apartment.
$850 being 150% of the rental/ lease for a month
the amount Erica's fee is based is $850×100:150=$566.(6)
