Answer: $-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y -3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x-2)$

Write as slope-intercept form y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

$y-3=-\frac{1}{2}x + 1$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x+4$

Therefore, the slope is $-\frac{1}{2}$ .

Solve 4/9x+7=1/2.<br><br> Solve 1/8x−12=3/4.

Elenna [48]

$\# 1 \\\\ \frac{4}{9}x+7=\frac{1}{2} \\\\ \frac{4x}{9}=\frac{1}{2}-7^{(2} \\\\ \frac{4x}{9}=\frac{1-14}{2} \\\\ \frac{4x}{9}=-\frac{13}{2} \\\\ 4x=-\frac{9*13}{2} \\\\ x=-\frac{\frac{9*13}{2}}{4} \\\\ x=-\frac{117}{2}*\frac{1}{4} \\\\ \boxed{x=-\frac{117}{8}=-14\frac{5}{8}}$

$\#2 \\\\ \frac{1}{8}x-12=\frac{3}{4} \\\\ \frac{1}{8}x=\frac{3}{4}+12^{(4} \\\\ \frac{x}{8}=\frac{3+48}{4} \\\\ \frac{x}{8}=\frac{51}{4} \\\\ x=\frac{\not8*51}{\not4} \\\\ x=2*51 \\\\ \boxed{x=102}$

Danielle earns a 7.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary

sashaice [31]

Danielle earned $951.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply her commission by her sales and add her base rate

x=7.25%($4500)+625 or x=0.0725(4500)+625

distribute

x=326.25+625

simplify

x=951.25
