Blake is signing a lease for a studio apartment that rents for $425/month. how much will blake pay to move in if he must pay the first and last months rent and a security deposit equal to 50% of his monthly rent?

So he would have to pay the first and last months rent so you would take 425*2=850. And then 50% of 425 would be 212.50. So all together he would be paying $1062.50 to move in. I hope this helps :)

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!
