Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b       "m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)


First find the slope of the line that passes through (4,9) and (-3,6).

Use the slope formula and plug in the two points:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

m=\frac{6-9}{-3-4}

m=\frac{-3}{-7} =\frac{3}{7}



A.) For lines to be parallel, their slopes have to be the same.

Since the given line's slope is 3/7, the parallel line's slope is also 3/7


y = 3/7x + b    To find "b", plug in the point (14,8) into the equation

8 = 3/7(14) + b

8 = 42/7 + b

8 = 6 + b    Subtract 6 on both sides

2 = b


y=\frac{3}{7}x+2



B.) For lines to be perpendicular, their slopes have to be the opposite/negative reciprocal (flipped sign and number)

For example:

slope is 3

perpendicular line's slope is -1/3

slope is -2/3

perpendicular line's slope is 3/2


Since the given line's slope is 3/7, the perpendicular line's slope is -7/3

y = -7/3x + b    Plug in (14, 8) to find "b"

8 = -7/3(14) + b

8 = -98/3 + b   Add 98/3 on both sides

8 + 98/3 = b       Make the denominators the same

24/3 + 98/3 = b

122/3 = b


y=-\frac{7}{3}x+\frac{122}{3}

Between which two integers can the square root of 15 be found?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

3 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider squares on either side of 15, that is 9 and 16, so

\sqrt{9} < \sqrt{15} < \sqrt{16}, that is

3 < \sqrt{15} < 4

brand X pizza is having a special coupon offer. if you buy two large pizzas, you get $2.00 off the total price before tax. a lar
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Very handy question to know the answer to. I know of no place on the planet that does not have a tax of some sort.

The tax only applies when money changes hands. It does not apply to any discounts

So if you take the deal, the cost is

Cost of 2 pizzas = normal price - the discount.

Cost of 2 pizzas = 2*10.50 - 2.00

Cost of 2 pizzas = 21 - 2

Cost of 2 pizzas = 19.00 dollars.

Not you add on the sales tax. You can do this one of two ways, the long way or the short way.

Long way

Find the sales tax

Tax = % * cost

Tax = (7.5/100) * 19

Tax = 1.425 don't round yet.

Total Cost = purchase + tax

Total Cost = 19.00 + 1.425 = 20.425 Now round. This is a real problem. It depends on what you have been told to do about rounding when 5 is the last digit. I round up. So my answer would be 20.43 <<<<< Answer.

Short Way

Cost = (Price - discount)*(1 + %/100)

Cost = (21 - 2)*(1+ 7.5/100)

Cost = 19 * (1.075)

Cost = 20.425 = 20.43
