Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the line</u>

we know that

the formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}

Let

A(-6,7)\\B(-3,6)

substitute the values

m=\frac{(6-7)}{(-3+6)}

m=\frac{(-1)}{(3)}

m=-1/3

Step 2

with the slope m and the point A(-6,7) find the equation of the line

we know that

the equation of the line in the point-slope form is equal to

y-y1=m*(x-x1)

substitute the values

y-7=(-1/3)*(x+6)

y=(-1/3)x-2+7

y=(-1/3)x+5

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

y=(-1/3)x+5

The equation of the line which passes through the points (-6,7) and (-3,6) is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math x+3y=15\\\end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

It is given that the line passes through the points (-6,7) and (-3,6).

Consider the point (-6,7) as (x_{1},y_{1}) and (-3,6) as (x_{2},y_{2}).

Two points are given through which the line passes so, in order to determine the equation of the line use the two point form equation.

The general representation of the two point form of a equation is as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=\left(\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\right)(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}                             (1)

In the above equation the expression \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} is called slope.

Slope of a line is represented as m and the expression for m is as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}       (2)

Substitute m for \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} in equation (1).

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}   (3)

To calculate the value of slope substitute the value of x_{1},x_{2},y_{1} and y_{2} in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}m&=\frac{6-7}{-3+6}\\&=\dfrac{-1}{3}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the value of slope of the line is \frac{-1}{3}.

To obtain the equation of the line substitute the value of m, x_{1} and y_{1} in equation (3).

\begin{aligned}(y-7)&=\frac{-1}{3}(x+6)\\3y-21&=-x-6\\x+3y&=15\end{aligned}

Therefore, the equation of the line is x+3y=15.

Thus, the equation of the line which passes through the points (-6,7) and (-3,6) is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math x+3y=15\\\end{minispace}}.

If the store currently charges a price of $50, then increases that price to $60, what happens to total revenue from shoe sales (
Goryan [66]

Answer:

<h2>Revenue will decrease</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: the question did not provide the quantity to work with, so we will assume some values, say quantity Q= 30

Generally, it is normal for the revenue to decrease when the price of a commodity increase, this is so that buyer will have to react to adjust to the change in price.

When price increase from $50 to $60, the total revenue will decrease

let say the quantity Q1=30 , and the new quantity after price increase is Q2=20

1. The revenue PxQ before price change will be

PxQ= P1xQ1=50*30

PxQ= $1500

1. The revenue PxQ after price change will be

PxQ=P2xQ2= 60*20

P2xQ2= $1200

This clearly shows that based on the assumed data, the total revenue will drop from1500 to 1200, a total of $300 in a decrease

The following annual expenses for car insurance, vacation, and home repairs for the Clark family are $1130, $700, and $468, resp
eimsori [14]

Answer:

A) $192

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Yearly expense of Car insurance = $1130

Yearly expense of Vacation = $700

Yearly expense of home repairs = $468

we need to find the monthly allowance of Clark family.

First we find the total annual expense of Clark family.

Total Annual expense is equal to sum of Yearly expense of Car insurance and  Yearly expense of Vacation and Yearly expense of home repairs.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total annual expense = \$1130 + \$700+\$468 = \$2298

Now we know that;

Number of months in a year = 12 months.

Total Monthly allowance will be equal to Total annual expense divided by Number of months in year.

Framing the equation we get;

Total Monthly allowance  = \frac{\$2298}{12}= \$191.5

Rounding to nearest dollar we get;

Total Monthly allowance of Clark family is $192.
