Answer:

44 and 110

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 2 : 5 = 2x : 5x ( x is a multiplier ) , thus

difference = 5x - 2x = 3x , then

3x = 66 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 22

Thus

2x = 2 × 22 = 44

5x = 5 × 22 = 110

The 2 numbers are 44 and 110

sasho [114]

Just find out 5% of 59.95, then just add that to 59.95. 2.99 is 5% of 59.95, 2.99+59.95=62.94

The Slope of a Line

Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The graph provided suggests the use of the points (3,-3) and (5,-3). The slope is:

$\displaystyle m=\frac{-3+3}{5-3}=\frac{0}{2}=0$

The slope of the line is 0. It corresponds to a horizontal line
