<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05

Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05

Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20

Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26

This is a net increase of 26%

Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.

----------------

An example:

Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)

An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C

A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C

The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point

grin007 [14]

Answer:

y = 5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want to find a equation parallel to the line given, you need to know the slope of the line given. Remember that parallel lines have the same slope.

5x - y = 4 and solving for y:

-y = -5x + 4 and solving for positive y:

y = 5x - 4

So the slope of that line is 5. We will use that along with the coordinate given to us to write the equation first in point-slope form then in slope-intercept:

y - (-2) = 5(x - (-2)) and

y + 2 = 5(x + 2) and

y + 2 = 5x + 10 so

y = 5x + 8

IN Ohio, I-75 and I-80 intersect at right angles. What type of lines do I-75 and I-80 form?

mash [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Interesting question

They form at right angles. The reason is the highways meet at right angles is that the United States does something really interesting and well thought out with its highway system.

The odd numbers run North and South

The even numbers run East and West.

So I-75 runs North and South

I-80 runs East and West.

They will, when they meet, form a right angle. This works for the interstates, but there a system for the intrastates as well.

I wish Canada would do something like that.

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram R S T U is shown. Point R is at (1, 1), point S is at (7, 0), point T is at (10, 4), and po

ira [324]

Answer:

B,5.4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelogram RSTU

R(1,1),S(7,0),T(10,4),U(4,5)

slope of RU m=(5-1)/(4-1)=4/3

slope of RS=(0-1)/(7-1)=-1/6=-1/6

slope of ST=(4-0)/(10-7)=4/3

slope of TU=(5-4)/(4-10)=1/(-6)=-1/6

RU||ST

eq. of line RU is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-1=4/3(x-1)

3y-3=4x-4

4x-3y-4+3=0

4x-3y-1=0

perpendicular distance of a point (x1,y1) from line ax+by+c=0 is

$d=\frac{ax1+by1+c}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2} } \\$

perpendicular distance of (7,0) from 4x-3y-1=0

$d=\frac{4(7)-3(0)-1}{\sqrt{4^2+(-3)^2} } \\=\frac{28-1}{\sqrt{16+9} }\\=\frac{27}{5} \\=5.4~units$
