1. Given the tax table below, write a piecewise function to represent the situation. Let x equal the taxable income and T) equal the income tax. Sample Income Tax Table Tax rate Taxable income reported Over Not over 15% $0 $32,450 28% $32,450 $78,400 33% $78,400 $155,800 38% $155,800​

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33
