Step-by-step explanation:

so,

100% = $130

1 % = 100%/100 = 130/100 = $1.30

the price changed by 169 - 130 = $39.

how many % are that ?

as many % and times 1% fits into $39 :

39 / 1.3 = 30%

the price increase was 30%.

Write a system of two equations in two variables to solve the problem. when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length. if th

Alisiya [41]

Let the base of the ladder be x ft and the extension be y ft.

"when fully extended, a ladder is 28 feet in length."

means: x+y=28

"<span>the extension is 4 feet shorter than the base</span>"

means: y=x-4, that is x-y = 4, (taking y to the side of x, and -4 to the other side of x and y)

thus, we have the system of equations:

1) x+y= 28

2) x-y=4

adding the 2 equations, we have:

(x+y)+(x-y)=28+4

2x=32

x=32/2=16

x+y=28, so 16+y=28, thus y=12

Answer: Base: 16, Extension 12

Graph. y−2=23(x+4) Use the Line Tool and select two points to graph the equation. Use the slope and the point provided in the eq

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in point slope form $y - y_1 = m(x-x_1)$ where m is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point.

For the equation y-2 = 23(x+4), graph the point (-4,2). Then from this point count up 23 and over to the right 1.

This is the graph of the line.

PLEASE HELP ME 10 Points

ra1l [238]

Answer:

y = 1/2 x + -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

m is equal to change in y/ change in x ( aka horizontal change over vertical change), in the graph the horizontal change is 1 up for every 2 units right, which equals 1/2

b is the y-intercept (when x=0), if you look at the graph x=0 when y=-5

Lastly, you put in m and b into the equation to get y = 1/2 x + -5

Joey is trying to prove that CATS is an isosceles trapezoid. He starts by providing that line segment AT is parallel to line seg

Stells [14]

Answer:

Yes the information i.e. AT ║ CS and diagonals AS = CT are sufficient to prove that CATS is an isosceles trapezoid.

CATS is an isosceles trapezoid. (Proved)

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes the information i.e. AT ║ CS and diagonals AS = CT are sufficient to prove that CATS is an isosceles trapezoid.

Proof :

Taking Δ CAT and Δ STA,

(i) CT = AS (Given)

(ii) AT is the common side and

(iii) ∠ ACT = ∠ TSA

{Since AT ║ CS and the angles are obtained from the same base AT}

Therefore, by the criteria Side-Side-Angle i.e. SSA, we can say Δ CAT ≅ Δ STA.

Hence, AC = ST {Corresponding sides}

Therefore, CATS is an isosceles trapezoid. (Proved)
