Complete the equation of the line through (-10,3)(−10,3)left parenthesis, minus, 10, comma, 3, right parenthesis and (-8,-8)(−8,−8)left parenthesis, minus, 8, comma, minus, 8, right parenthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Line through points (-10, 3) and (-8, -8).

slope = (-8 - 3)/(-8 - (-10)) = -11/2

y = mx + b

y = (-11/2)x + b

-8 = (-11/2)(-8) + b

-8 = 44 + b

b = -52

y = (-11/2)x - 52

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
