At first we will find the slope of the line that <span>passes through the points A and B
</span>
<span>A ( -10,8), B(2,3)
slope = (Δy)/(Δx) = (3-8)/(2-(-10)) = -5/12

the require line is parallel to the line </span><span><span>passes through the points A and B
</span>∴ the slope of the line </span><span>that passes through Point X = -5/12
and have a general form
   y = m x + c
where m is the slope and c is constant
the constant can be calculated by substituting with the point x (-5,10) in the equation of general form
∴ 10 = (-5/12)*-5 + c
   c = 10 - 25/12 = 95/12
∴ y = (-5/12)x +95/12  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ multiplying the equation by 12

∴ 12y = -5x +95

To decrease an amount by 4% what single multiplier would u use ??
serg [7]

If you decrease something by 4 percent,

you are  keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original

so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96


If you have 100 pennies, and you  give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies.  You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with.  This works no matter how much you start with.


Example:


you have 40 dollars

4% decrease

40 * .04 =  1.6 take this away

40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left

you keep 96 percent

40 * .96 = 38.4 left

Anni [7]

Answer:

1 % decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent of decrease time can be written as the expression \frac{200}{200}-\frac{198}{200} = \frac{2}{200}. Now, we convert the fraction into a decimal: \frac{2}{200} = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01. We can convert this decimal into a percentage: 0.01*100 = 1%.
