Answer: y = 2/3x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
We will write the equation in slope intercept form (y=mx+b).
In the formula y=mx + b, m is the slope and b is the y intercept. We need the slope and y intercept numbers to write the equation. Since we know the slope we will use the given point to find the y intercept by plotting in the x and y coordinates into the formula.
1 = 2/3(-3) + b Solve for b
1= -6/3 + b
1 = -2 + b
+2 +2
b = 3
The equation will be y = 2/3x + 3

The y intercept is the value of y when x=0. Substituting we get
y = 4
Answer: 4
The price of the sweater was reduced by 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; Cost before reduction was $20. The cost after reduction was 12$. Cost reduced= cost before reduction - cost after reduction
Cost reduced= $20 - $12 = $8
Step 2; We must find how much of the cost was reduced from the initial cost i.e. how much $8 is to $20. To do this we must convert it into a percentage. We divide the $8 with the $20 to get a value. This value must be multiplied with a 100 to be converted into a percentage.
Cost by which sweater was reduced=
* 100 = 0.4 * 100 = 40
So the price of the sweater was reduced from $20 to $8 which equates to a reduction in 40%.
