The equation of the line from give points is y = 2/3x - 5/3.

According to the statement

We have given that the two points which are (-2,-3) and (4,1)

And we have to find the equation of a line that passes through the given points.

So,For this purpose,

First, we need to determine the slope of the line. The slope can be found by using the formula:

m = \frac{(y_2) -(y_1)}{(x_2) -(x_1)}

Where

m is the slope and

Substituting the values from the points in the problem gives:

m = 1 + 3 /4 + 2

m = 4/6

m = 2/3.

And then

Now, we can use the point-slope formula to find an equation for the line. The point-slope formula states:

y - (y_1) = m(x -x_1)

Put the values in it then

y - (-3) = 2/3 (x-(-2))

y +3 = 2/3 (x +2)

3y + 9 = 2x + 4

3y - 2x = 4 -9

3y -2x = -5

3y = 2x - 5

y = 2/3x - 5/3.

So, The equation of the line from give points is y = 2/3x - 5/3.

Sales increased by only 12% last month. If the sales from the previous month were $152,850, what were last months sales
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

\$171,192

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that

100\%+12\%=112\%=112/100=1.12

we know that

The sales from the previous month were $152,850

This amount represent the 100%

so

Find out what were last months sales, multiply the sales from the previous month by the factor 1.12

\$152,850(1.12)=\$171,192
