Step-by-step explanation:

gradient = slope or several other words.

it describes how strongly a line (or tangent to a bent curve) is going up or down or ... if it is changing at all.

it is represented by the ratio

(y coordinate change / x coordinate change)

when going from one point on the line to another.

in our case, when going from A to B we have

x changes by -2k (from 3k to k).

y changes by -11 (from 8 to -3).

so, the gradient or slope is

-11/-2k = 3

11/2k = 3

11 = 3×2k = 6k

k = 11/6

A = (33/6, 8) = (11/2, 8)

B = (11/6, -3)

You are buying a $14.95 item that has 4.5% sales tax. You give the cashier a $20 bill. How much change do you get back?
adell [148]

Answer:

$4.38

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find out how much the item costs with the sales tax. 4.5% is also equal to 0.045. We can multiply 14.95 by 0.045 to get the sales tax. This would end up to be 0.67275 which we can round to 0.67. We can now add 0.67 to 14.95 to get $15.62. Since we gave the cashier a $20 bill we need to subtract 20 by 15.62 to get $4.38.

docker41 [41]
First we need to convert cm to mm
45 cm = 450 mm

Now our ratio looks like this
60/450
We can divide both by 30 and once we do that our ratio will look like this:
2/15

That means the answer is B
