$(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ -\cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{-\cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{8}) \\\\\\ y-1=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+4\implies y=-\cfrac{1}{2}x+5$

The value of a collectible toy car is increasing exponentially. The two points on the graph show the toy car’s initial value and

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Translating to the question, the toy's value as a function of time is

$t = ab^{w}$

To determine constants a and b, we use points given by graph.

First, (0,5) to find a:

$5= a.b^{0}$

a = 5

Now, (3,10) to determine b:

$10=5b^{3}$

$b=\sqrt[3]{2}$

b = 1.26

The toy's value as a function of time in weeks is t = $5.(1.26)^{w}$

The regular price of a watch is $42.25. During a sale, the watch rang up for 29.95. What was the percent off the watch during th

kupik [55]

Answer:

(d) The sale was for a 29% decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original/Regular price = $42.25

New/Sale price = $29.95

Difference in prices = 42.25 - 29.95 = 12.3

Formula for finding the percentage decrease of the sale

= $\frac{Difference in prices}{Original/Regular price}$ × 100

$\frac{12.3}{42.25}$ × 100

= $\frac{1230}{42.25}$

≈ 29.11 %

≈ 29 %

Therefore, the percent off the watch during the sale was approximately 29%.
