Answer:
50%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 numbers fitting the rule, 1, 2, and 6. There is a 3/6 chance rolling one of them or 50%.
Answer:
The equation of the line would be y = -3/2x + 7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, we must first use the slope formula with the two point to find the slope.
m(slope) = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (5 - -1)/(-1 - 3)
m = 6/-4
m = -3/2
Now that we have the slope, we can use that and either point in point-slope form. Then we solve for y.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 1 = -3/2(x - 3)
y + 1 = -3/2x + 9/2
y = -3/2x + 7/2
To find the slope given two points, you need to subtract the two y values over the two x values
(-5,-3) (9,-6)
-5 will be x1, and -3 will be y1. 9 will be x2, and -6 will be y2. You then need to put the numbers in the correct place in the equation.
y2-y1 -6-(-3) -9
-------- = -------- = ----
x2-x1 9-(-5) 14
Now that we have the slope (-9/14) you can use one of the coordinates to find the value of b.
Let's use (9,-6).
-6=-9/14(9)+b
-6=-81/14+b
+81/14
b=-3/14
Your final equation is y=-9/15x-3/14
so to find 15% of 54,237, we use this equation: (x/54237) = (15/100) where x is the amount of income tax.
cross multiply: 100x = 813555
divide each side by 100 to isolate x: 8135.55
the truck driver will pay $8135.55
we know that
the fourth point is plotted 5 units to the right of (-4,4)
so
the coordinate x of the fourth point is equal to
-4+5=1
the y-coordinate of the fourth point is the same y coordinate of (-4,4)
therefore
the coordinates of the fourth point is (1,4)
