Answer:

a-b

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference will usually be the first term subtracted by the second but it is the space/value between the numbers so technically you could just take the negative from b-a as -(b-a) and get the same value

20. If a certain linear function f(x) is evaluated at 0, the answer is 4.
bija089 [108]

Answer:

y = (1/3)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points on this line are (0, 4) and (3, 5).

As we move from the first point to the second, x increases by 3 and y increases by 1.  Thus, the slope, m, of the line is m = rise / run = 1/3.

Use the slope-intercept equation:  y = mx + b.

If we use the data from the point (0, 4), we get:

4 = (1/3)(0) + b, so that b = 4.  The desired equation is y = (1/3)x + 4.

Franklin Porter purchased a waterbed for $4,500. He made a 20 percent down payment and financed the remainder. What amount did h
ira [324]
To find the amount that Franklin financed, you will calculate the amount he put down and subtract that from the original price because that is what he still owes.

0.2 x $4500 = $900
$4500 - $900 = $3600.

Porter financed $3600.

You also multiply 0.8 x $4500 because this represents the part out of 100% he still owes.  You will get the same answer this way.
