Use the graphto determine the cost including sales tax for a $6.00 pen in the store.To find the relevant price with tax, first find the correct pre-tax price on the x−axis. This is the point x = 6.Draw the line x = 6 up until it meets the function, then draw a horizontal line to the y−axis. This line hits at y ≈ 6.75(about three fourths of the way from y = 6 to y = 7).The approximate cost including tax is $6.75.Example 4The chart for converting temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius is shown to the right. Use the graph to convert thefollowing:a) 70 ◦ Fahrenheit to Celsiusb) 0 ◦ Fahrenheit to Celsius143
