check the picture below.
so, when we have a line from a 90° angle running perpendicular to the opposite side, like in this case, we end up with three similar triangles, a large one containing the other two, a medium and a small one.
now, using the sides proportions as you see there, of the small and large one, we get that much.
Michael's initial investment is $45.80, the cost of the share.
Michael Receives $1.71 in dividends.
He receives $47.50 for the stock when he sells it.
His profit on the sale of the stock is $47.50 - 45.80 = $1.70.
His total return on the stock is his total earnings, the dividends plus his profits on the sale of the stock, divided on what he paid initially, $45.80:
(1.71 + 1.70) ÷ 45.80 = .0744 = 7.45%
7.45% return on investment in less than a year, not bad!
Closest answer is 7.7%, not sure why it isn't exactly 7.45 or 7.5%.
Answer is B) 7.7%
A. 35 greater than or equal to 14 + x
35 - 14 = 21
x = $21
b. If the shirt is 30% off it would cost $9.80
14 x 0.3 = 4.2
14 - 4.2 = 9.8
35 is greater than or equal to 9.80 + x
35 - 9.8 = 25.2
x = $25.20
This changes the inequality by making x greater than it was in part a
c. Yes, you do have enough money to buy the shirt that is on sale and a pair of pants. x is the amount that you have left to spend after you buy the shirt that is on sale. 25.20 is greater than the cost of the pants.

Answer:
y = 7x - 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 3)
m = 
= 
= 7, thus
y = 7x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (2, 4), then
4 = 14 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 14 = - 10
y = 7x - 10 ← equation of line
