Answer:-2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the above equation can be rewritten as 5y= -2x+1

Dividing this expression through by 5, we have 5y/5 = -2x/5 + 1/5

y= (-2/5)x + 1/5

Comparing with the general equation of a line;

y = mx + c; m= gradient; C= constant along the y-axis

m= -2/5

Answer:

$y = \frac{18 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3wx}{ \sqrt{2y} } = \frac{5}{2z} \\ \\ \sqrt{2y} \times 5 = 3wx \times 2z \\ \\ \sqrt{2y} \times 5 = 6wxz \\ \\ \sqrt{2y} = \frac{6wxz}{5} \\ \\ {( \sqrt{2y} })^{2} = {( \frac{6wxz}{5} })^{2} \\ \\ 2y = \frac{36 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25} \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{36 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25} \div 2 \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{36 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25} \times \frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{36 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{50} \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{18 {w}^{2} {x}^{2} {z}^{2} }{25}$

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: $56,900\left( 0.919\right)^x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Marcos purchased a sailboat for $\$56,900$

Each year the boat will decrease in value by $8.1\%$

After 1 year it is

$\Rightarrow 56,900-56,900\times 0.081\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\\$

after another year it becomes

$\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)-56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\times 0.081\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)\cdot \left( 1-0.081\right)\\\Rightarrow 56,900\left( 1-0.081\right)^2$
