This is a two step problem. First, you need to find the difference (or increase) in the rent using subtraction.
616-560 = $56 increase
Now we need to figure what percent 56 is to the original amount (560)
We voice it like this:
56 is to 560 as x is to 100.
The equation looks like this:
56/560 - x/100
Cross multiply to cancel out the denominators.
56 x 100 = 560 x
5600 = 560 x
x = 10 percent.
Check it!
What is 10 percent of 560?
560 x .1 = $56
Was that your increase? ... yes.
20.30 x .65 + answer. 13.195 + 20.30= 33.495 or 33.50
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x - 3. The slope here is 2. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To find the negative reciprocal, just flip the slope and change the sign.
slope = 2 or 2/1.....flip it.....1/2....change the sign...-1/2. So our perpendicular line will have a slope of -1/2.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = - 1/2
(2,1)....x = 2 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y intercept
1 = -1/2(2) + b
1 = -1 + b
1 + 1 = b
2 = b
so ur equation is : y = -1/2x + 2 <===
and u can check it with ur points....(2,1)
y = 2x - 3
1 = 2(2) - 3
1 = 4 - 3
1 = 1 (yep...it checks out)
