A purchase costs $25.79 plus a tax of $1.29. Find the sales tax rate.

The sales tax rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the sales tax rate if you already know the amount of tax being added to the purchase price, divide the amount of tax by the purchase price. In this example, divide $1.29 (amount of tax being added) by $25.79 (purchase price). When you do that, you will see that the answer is 0.0500, or 5%.

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
