1)Parallel means they have to have the same slope. Since our equation is y=2/3x+1, a line parallel to that would be(using out points) -5=2/3(-4)+b.

To find the y-intercept, solve for "b".

b=-7/3

Our equation would then be y=2/3x-7/3

2)Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes. our previous equation was y=2/3x+1, so our new equation would be -5=-3/2(-4)+b. Now lets solve for b.

b=-11

So our perpendicular equation would be y=-3/2x-11

Hope that was helpful. :)

After sales tax, an $81 cell phone costs $84.24. What is the sales tax percentage?

Igoryamba

Answer:

4% sales tax

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the original costs and subtract it from the price after sales tax.

$84.24-$81= $3.24

Divide 3.24 by 81

this gives you .04, now either multiply by 100 or move the decimal two places to the right to convert the decimal to a percentage.
