The Solution.

In 1966, which is the initial year(t); t = 0, and minimum wage(y), y = $1.25

Similarly.

In 2015, t = 49 years , (that is, 1966 to 2015), and y = $8.75

The rate of growth to the nearest percent is

\text{Rate of growth =}\frac{y_2-y_1}{t_2-t_1}\times100\begin{gathered} \text{Where y}_2=8.75,t_2=49\text{ years} \\ y_1=\text{ \$1.25},t_1=0 \end{gathered}

Substituting into the formula above, we get

\text{Rate of growth =}\frac{8.75-1.25}{49-0}\times100\text{Rate of growth = }\frac{7.5}{49}\times100=15.31\approx15\text{ \%}

Hence, the correct answer is 15%

The measure of an angle is 60° less than nineteen times the measure of its supplement. what is the measure of the angle?
DerKrebs [107]
Two angles are supplementary when they <span>add up to 180 degrees.

x = angle
19x-60 = </span><span>supplement angle

x + 19x - 60 = 180
20x = 180 + 60
20x = 240
x = 240/20
x = 12</span>°  ← answer

Write an equation for each translation of .
alexdok [17]

Answer:

<h2>y = |x - 5.5|</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

y = f(x) + n - moves the graph n units up

y = f(x) - n - moves the graph n units down

y = f(x + n) - moves the graph n units to the left

y = f(x - n) - moves the graph n units to the right

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

5.5 units to the right

y = f(x - 5.5) = |x - 5.5|
