Mr. Brown owned a house, which he rented for $60 a month. The house was assessed at $9000. In 1975 the rate of taxation was incr

eased from $25 to $28 per $1000 assessed valuation. By what amount should the monthly rent have been raised to absorb the increase in that year's taxes?

We first calculate the percentage increase on the tax

Old value = 25×9 = 225 ⇒ The value 9 represents the 9 lots of thousands of the house's value
New value = 28×9 = 252

Increase in tax = 252 - 225 =27  
Percentage increase = (27÷225) ×100 = 12%

The amount of yearly rent would be then increased by 12%

Monthly rent = $60
Yearly rent = 60×12 = $720
Increase by 12% = 720×1.12 = 806.4 ⇒ The value 1.12 is the multiplier, obtained from 100%+12%=112%=1.12

The monthly rent is 806.4÷12 = $67.20 which is an increase of $7.20 per month

Explanation:

The function is y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5

To graph the function, let us find the x and y intercepts.

To find x-intercept, let us substitute y=0 in the function y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5

\begin{aligned}0 &=-\frac{1}{3} x+5 \\-5 &=-\frac{1}{3} x \\x &=15\end{aligned}

Thus, the x-intercept is (15,0)

To find the y-intercept, let us substitute x=0, we get,

\begin{aligned}&y=-\frac{1}{3}(0)+5\\&y=5\end{aligned}

Thus, the y-intercept is (0,5)

The graph has no asymptotes.

To plot the points in the graph, we need to substitute the values for x in the function y>-\frac{1}{3} x+5, to find the y-values.

The points are (-2,5.667),(-1,5.333),(1,4.667),(2,4.333),(3,4). The image of the graph and table is attached below:

Jake and Danny agree to share the cost of renting a house for $1100. If Jake agrees to pay $250 more than Danny, how much money
SVEN [57.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide 1100 by 2

550

Now that would be the amount the both of them would have to pay if they were splitting it equally. Since there not add 250 to 550.

250+550=800

Finally subtract 250 from 550

550-250=300

Jake has to pay $550

Danny has to pay $300

8) Find the endpoint Cif M is the midpoint of segment CD and M (2, 4) and D (5,7)
Elenna [48]

Answer:

8. c. (-1, -1)

9. a. (-6, -1)

b. True

Step-by-step Explanation:

8. Given the midpoint M(2, 4), and one endpoint D(5, 7) of segment CD, the coordinate pair of the other endpoint C, can be calculated as follows:

let D(5, 7) = (x_2, y_2)

C(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)

M(2, 4) = (\frac{x_1 + 5}{2}, \frac{y_1 + 7}{2})

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of C

2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2} and 4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}

Solve for each:

2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}

2*2 = \frac{x_1 + 5}{2}*2

4 = x_1 + 5

4 - 5 = x_1 + 5 - 5

-1 = x_1

x_1 = -1

4 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}

4*2 = \frac{y_1 + 7}{2}*2

8 = y_1 + 7

8 - 7 = y_1 + 7 - 7

1 = y_1

y_1 = 1

Coordinates of endpoint C is (-1, 1)

9. a.Given segment AB, with midpoint M(-4, -5), and endpoint A(-2, -9), find endpoint B as follows:

let A(-2, -9) = (x_2, y_2)

B(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1)

M(-4, -5) = (\frac{x_1 + (-2)}{2}, \frac{y_1 + (-9)}{2})

-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2} and -5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}

Solve for each:

-4 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}

-4*2 = \frac{x_1 - 2}{2}*2

-8 = x_1 - 2

-8 + 2 = x_1 - 2 + 2

-6 = x_1

x_1 = -6

-5 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}

-5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 9}{2}*2

-10 = y_1 - 9

-10 + 9 = y_1 - 9 + 9

-1 = y_1

y_1 = -1

Coordinates of endpoint B is (-6, -1)

b. The midpoint of a segment, is the middle of the segment. It divides the segment into two equal parts. The answer is TRUE.
