Acar salesman makes $445 per week plus commission. if during the week he sells a new van for $34,960 and earns 2.5% commission on the sale, how much money did he earn for the week

34960 × 2.5% = 1748 + 445 = 2,193 for the week (:

The answer is he makes 1,319. You multiply 34,960 but 0.025 so you can find 2.5% of 34,960 and then you add his weekly salary of 445 to 874 which is his commission on the sale.

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!
