Answer:
[tex]y = 23.75x + 76.24[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to rewrite
[tex]y = 99.99 + 23.75(x - 1)[/tex]
in the form
[tex]y = ax + b[/tex]
We expand to get:
[tex]y = 99.99 + 23.75x - 23.75[/tex]
Regroup similar terms:
[tex]y = 23.75x - 23.75 + 99.99[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]y = 23.75x + 76.24[/tex]
This is now of the form
[tex]y = ax + b[/tex]
where a=23.75 and b=76.24
