Answer: $14.93

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets remove the shipping price: 51.65 - 3.50 = 48.15

Next, lets find the sales tax of the shirts: 48.15 x 0.07 = 3.37

Then, subtract that from the shirt price: 48.15 - 3.37 = 44.78

Finally, divide 44.78 by 3: 44.78 / 3 = 14.93!

(a) It takes the Earth 365 days to complete a full orbit around the sun. It takes Jupiter approximately 4,332 days, 14 h, and 9

kogti [31]

1 year = 365 days.

1 day = 24 hours.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

First convert the hours and minutes in Jupiter orbit to days:

14*60 = 840 +9 = 849 minutes.

849 / 60 = 14.15 hours.

14.15 / 24 = 0.59 days.

Jupiter's orbit is 4332.59 days.

Now divide that by 365 for the number of years:

4332.59 / 365 = 11.87 years.

Find the equation of the graphed line.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a. y = -1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer choice can be determined by finding the slope of the line. The slope is the ratio of rise to run.

<h3>slope</h3>

The x-intercept is 4 units left of the y-axis. As the line "runs" those 4 units, it "rises" -2 units to intercept the y-axis at -2. The slope of the line is ...

m = rise/run = -2/4 = -1/2

In the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, the slope is the coefficient of x. This information is sufficient to let us choose the first answer choice.

<h3>equation</h3>

The slope-intercept equation is ...

y = mx +b . . . . . . . slope m, y-intercept b

We know the slope is -1/2, and the y-intercept is where x=0, at y=-2. Then the equation is ...

y = -1/2x -2 . . . . . matches choice A

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

When answering multiple-choice questions, you only need to do enough work to tell which answers are <em>not</em> viable.

When we plot the points, we see that the line has negative slope. (eliminates choice C). The slope is shallow, rather than steep (the x-intercept is farther from the origin than the y-intercept), so the magnitude of the slope is less than 1 and choices B and D are eliminated.
