Income of $40,000paid $ 8,800 in federal income taxes. what fraction shows how much my parents spent on their federal taxes?

Hello,

If you want to find the fraction that was spent on taxes, you should put the amount of taxes over the total amount.

You would have 8800/40000.

This fraction can be reduced to 22/100 or 11/50. It could also be written as 22%.

Best of luck,

Hey there!!

The appropriate answer would be Option (B)

With the given equations, we know two things, the slope is 3/2

On the graph B, let's take two points, y-intercept and the x-intercept.

From y-intercept, we go up 3 and across 2. Hence, the slope is 3/2

The line is cutting the y-axis at -4, y-intercept is -4. Matches the scenario.

There is no equal to symbol, which means, the graph has to be a dashed line.

Hope it helps!
