The question you have given is wrong as the points are the answer to none of the given equations

(2,5)(-1,8)
slope = (8 - 5) / (-1 - 2) = 3/-3 = -1

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1
(2,5)...x1 = 2 and y1 = 5
now we sub
y - 5 = -1(x - 2) <==

Find the percent of change. Round to the nearest percent.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

-54.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You will have to use this formula

$\frac{new value-oldvalue}{oldvalue}$

When substituted in you have $\frac{30-66}{66}$

30-66=-36

-36/66= -0.54 (54 repeating)

Then you have to convert this into a percentage, -54.54(repeating) percent

To the nearest hundredth you would round down to -54.5%.

It is a Decrease because it is negatated.

Solve the equation. 5/7=10/x+2

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$x=-\frac{70}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable by doing operations to both sides of the equation.

The work is shown below:

$\frac{5}{7} =\frac{10}{x} +2\\\\\frac{5}{7} - 2=\frac{10}{x} +2 - 2\\\\-\frac{9}{7} = \frac{10}{x}\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}*x = \frac{10}{x}*x\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}x = 10\\\\ -\frac{9}{7}x * (-\frac{7}{9})= 10 * (-\frac{7}{9}) \\\\x=-\frac{70}{9}$

Determine the solution of the system. Show your work. Y = 5x – 9 Y = 2x + 6

snow_tiger [21]

Both define y, so they are equivalent.

5x-9=2x+6
3x-9=6
3x=15
x=5

Then plug in x into any of the equations
y=2(5)+6
y=10+6
y=16

Final answer: (5,16)
